Christopher M. Hadad

Christopher M. Hadad's research uses computational and mechanistic chemistry to understand how molecules react and assemble, spanning topics such as asymmetric catalysis, reaction mechanisms, photochemistry, and molecular structure. Recent work includes designing chiral catalysts for making complex molecules with specific 3D shapes, studying reactive chemical intermediates, and investigating environmental and biochemical reactions such as enzyme reactivation and pollutant breakdown. The group combines computational modeling (density functional theory) with experimental organic and physical chemistry.

Publication output has remained fairly steady over the past decade, fluctuating between roughly 5 and 15 papers per year without a clear long-term increase or decline.
