Nominator's project description

Professor Aggarwal is well known internationally for his outstanding research in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. He has made remarkable contributions in asymmetric synthesis by developing new chemical methods and tools applicable in many fields of chemistry, particularly in pharmaceutical research. A recent highlight of his research is the development of an interative process that conceptually mimicks Nature. In Germany, he plans to extend his research by implementing his methods to microstructured flow devices.
