Current direction
I am developing my research experience around the interactions between peptides, proteins and biologically important metal ions. These systems are especially interesting because coordination chemistry can influence molecular structure, reactivity and oxidative behaviour.
My present areas of interest include:
- peptide–metal interactions;
- coordination chemistry in biological systems;
- oxidative processes related to neurodegenerative diseases;
- molecular mechanisms with potential biomedical relevance.
Questions that guide my work
How do metal ions alter biological molecules?
Metal coordination can change the geometry, charge distribution and reactivity of a peptide or protein. Understanding those changes requires chemical reasoning alongside biological context.
How can experimental data reveal those interactions?
Spectroscopic, equilibrium and computational approaches provide complementary views of molecular behaviour. I am particularly interested in connecting measured data with mechanistic interpretation.
How can the work remain reproducible?
Clear documentation, responsible data handling and computational analysis are becoming increasingly important parts of my scientific development.
