Welcome to the Neufeldt Group Homepage
The Neufeldt lab is a catalysis group in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department at Montana State University. Our research interfaces organic and organometallic chemistry, and broadly targets the design, optimization, and understanding of catalytic systems for organic chemical transformations. We use a combination of experimental and computational techniques to approach research questions.
