Assistant Professor of Chemistry Ph.D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014 (Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry, Materials Science) (206) 616-5179 Email: Research Interests Research in the Velian group focuses on the development of synthetic strategies to access new generations of molecular and heterogeneous inorganic catalysts and electronic materials, with the long-term goal of contributing fundamental understanding of the chemical processes occurring at the surface of semiconductor materials. While rooted in inorganic and organometallic chemistry, research in the Velian group interfaces with chemical engineering and materials science.
