Research Interests: Biomimetic models of metalloenzymes and heme proteins; chiral recognition of biological molecules, such as amino acids, glucose etc.; porphyrin-based electronic, photonic and magnetic materials. We are currently focusing on the studies of the weak interactions involving porphyrins, such as hydrogen bonding.
