Jacob Werth works in organic and catalytic chemistry, developing new methods for building molecules with precise 3D shapes (asymmetric catalysis), including reactions that add small carbon rings (cyclopropanes) or control hydrogen-bonding and radical chemistry. A notable recent focus is combining traditional organic synthesis with data science tools to analyze and predict how catalysts behave, and to improve manufacturing processes for pharmaceutical-related compounds.
