Tim Hanusa

Emily Rouse Graduate Student, Chemistry Tim Hanusa Research Group One of the primary synthetic techniques used in the Hanusa group is solventless synthesis, specifically, mechanochemistry. Mechanochemistry involves driving chemical reactions through the application of mechanical force. This approach offers a sustainable alternative to conventional synthesis by minimizing or… Read More
