Dr. Wes Borden

Professor and Welch Chair in Chemistry









My group uses electronic structure calculations to interpret the results of experiments and to propose experimental tests of these interpretations. The computational research in my group is aimed not only at making quantitative predictions but also at developing a qualitative understanding of organic and organometallic chemistry.

My research is currently supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and from the Center for Enabling New Technologies via Catalysis
