Lauren M. Lopez's work spans inorganic and materials chemistry, including the synthesis and structural characterization of uranium-containing (uranyl) complexes, crystal structure determination, and computational approaches to identifying useful chemical building blocks (such as bio-based monomers and corrosion inhibitors). The research combines experimental synthesis with computational retrosynthesis planning to discover new molecules for applications like polymer materials and corrosion prevention.
