Biography
InterestsThe Zdilla group is interested in several problems at the interface of inorganic chemistry with other subdisciplines, including biology, energy, and nanotechnology. Most of our work is centered around the use of multi-metal systems for various applications, including green catalysis, materials precursors, solid electrolytes, energetic materials, and biological model systems. The group specializes in inorganic synthesis, air-free handling, and X-ray crystallography.
