Sarah Steber and Andi Yuan happily graduated in May. They have been great undergraduate students in the Wolf lab and are both co-authors of several papers. Congratulations!

Lucas successfully defended his PhD thesis yesterday. We wish him all the best as he embarks on a new chapter of his career. Congratulations Dr. Kane!

Maria Bouda presented at the ACS Fall 2024 conference in Denver, Colorado this week on the organocatalytic aymmetric conjugate addition of fluorooxindoles to quinone methides.

Jeffrey Formen successfully defended his PhD thesis last Thursday. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Congratulations Dr. Formen!

For the first time, chiroptical sensing of nitriles has been achieved. Congratulations, Jeffrey! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Safia, Flavia and Sam found a new use for isatins. Their work is now online at Chirality. Check it out at doi.org/10.1002/chir.7…

The Wolf group at the Hoyas first basketball game for the season vs. LeHigh University. Hoyas won 85-77! 🎊🎉

Hope everyone's had a great holiday season! The Wolf group celebrated Christmas by hosting our annual White Elephant gift exchange.

Jeffrey and Eryn just published our first paper in 2025. Happy New Year! You can check it out at: doi.org/10.1021/acs.jo…

Lucas reports how unactivated alkyl fluorides can be functionalized with excellent functional group tolerance under mild conditions and in numerous ways. See our most recent paper at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We have developed a method that allows efficient asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral oxindole-coumarin hybrids (doi.org/10.1039/D5CC01…). It is the first of its kind.

Maria Bouda presented her exit seminar on May 8th — an exciting step as she prepares to defend her PhD thesis. Wishing her success in the final stretch!

A joyful reunion as our freshly minted Ph.D. graduates returned to celebrate their graduation with us — so proud of their accomplishments!

Safia just reported how one can use a multipurpose reaction/sensing auxiliary to speed up asymmetric catalysis development, see: doi.org/10.1002/chem.2….

It was great seeing Shuanglong Liu, one of my first PhD students during a DC visit.

Our undergrads Dea and Grace had lots of fun today presenting their posters at the National ACS meeting in DC.

Christian ran into the very friendly Berkowitz group during the poster session at the National ACS meeting. Lots of great chemistry and a fun conversation!

Exciting news! Ryan and Yujin presented their research posters at #ACSFall2025, sharing the latest work from our lab. #ACS

Congratulations Dr. Bouda! Here is a picture of our last lunch with Maria. Maria successfully defended her PhD thesis last week and will soon start working at Reversal Therapeutics.

Safia presented her research at #ACSFall2025 on integrated catalysis & analysis for accelerated asymmetric reaction development using a multitasking umpolung/chiroptical reporter. An exciting step forward in methodology & sensing! 👏🧪 #acsfall2025 #ACS
