Biography
I received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Hanoi University, Vietnam before moving to University of Minnesota-Duluth for graduate study. After finishing M.Sc. in chemistry in 1999, I transferred to the Twin Cities campus to pursue Ph.D. research. My Ph.D. work focused on total synthesis of azaspiracid, a marine toxin that causes azaspiacid poisoning. Upon completion of my degree I have completed and scaled up the two major domains ABCD and FGHI ring systems.
My current research interest is focused on the development and application of new methods and chemical transformations for synthesis of complex molecules
