Expertise/Achievements:   

• Development of microcapsules with density adjusted to that of petroleum products; it enables tagging, measurements and safe delivery of various gasoline additives.
• Development and industrial scale demonstration of a successful method to chemically destroy methyl bromide from fumigations; it employs only non-hazardous reactants.
• Design of ultra-sensitive detection methods employing nanocapsules.
• Design and synthesis of various derivatizing agents containing iodine-125.
• Novel method of synthesizing olefins from diols via bis-xanthates (with D.H.R. Barton).
• Development of a novel method enabling measurements of multi-phase flows (crude oils).
• Design and execution of total syntheses of lineatin and disparlure from monosaccharides.
• Successful execution of a new methodology which uses phase transfer catalysis to transform components of byproducts and waste streams into saleable products.
• Fundamental discovery of a novel approach towards absolute asymmetric synthesis.
• Co-author of more than 30 publications, 11 patents and 12 invited presentations.
