Nominator's project description

Professor Doyle is internationally recognized for her seminal contributions to organofluorine chemistry, to Nickel catalysis and to machine learning for organic synthesis. She has pioneered the combination of transition metal-catalyzed reactions with photoredox processes and her studies have led to an in-depth understanding of the role phosphane ligands play in synthetically relevant cross-coupling reactions. During her stay in Germany, she will continue her research on novel photocatalytic reactions and on data science.
