Nominator's project description
| Professor Siegel is a specialist in the area of molecular design and synthesis, with a focus on physical organic chemistry and the stereochemistry of aromatic and supramolecular architectures. His work impacts core concepts of stereochemistry, including biological homochirality and its implications in the origin of life. He has also been a pioneer in the field of non-planar aromatic materials. During his stay in Germany, he intends to develop oxygen releasing molecules that can be used to sustain cells under anoxic conditions, which has many potential applications in tissue engineering. |
