The
Brudvig Group works to understand the chemistry of water oxidation in
plant photosynthesis, and to model this water-oxidizing chemistry with
synthetic catalysts. Current research projects also include
studies on energy transduction in Photosystem II and artificial
photosynthetic systems.
For more information on our research, visit the project pages listed to the left.
