==Description==
As of fall 2007, I have been a research student under the advisement of [[Dr. Martin Walker]].  Our reseach covers various [[green chemistry]] topics, including our most recent work with [[Research:Walker group/transacylation|transacylation]].

The project, which was originally begun by Jennifer Head and Matthew Hudson, has been passed on to myself for both completion and submission of final results.

Along with this research, I am working with Potsdam undergraduates [[User:Panare64|Joe Panaresi]] and [[User:Mary Mapelli|Mary Mapelli]]
