Seth A. Bawel works in synthetic organic chemistry, focusing on methods for building molecules with specific three-dimensional shapes, particularly a type of handedness called atropisomerism where rotation around a bond is restricted. Recent work combines laboratory experiments with computational modeling and machine learning to understand and design chiral catalysts, alongside efforts to synthesize complex natural product structures. Techniques used include X-ray crystallography to determine molecular structures and electrochemistry-based synthesis.
