Dr. Fotie is a Professor of Organic Chemistry, and he is passionate about Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Synthesis, Green and Sustainable Catalysis. His research group is primarily interested in heterogeneous catalysis using metal nanoparticles dispersed and stabilized in porous materials as a catalyst for a wide range of chemical transformations, including a reductive functionalization of CO2. The group also implements carbon–silicon bioisosteric replacement, also known as “silicon switch”, as a strategy for the development of new drug scaffolds, resulting in the expansion of the chemical space from the lead molecule.
