Dr. Lamb has an F next to chemistry on one of his high-school report cards. Lest that concern you, he’s made some progress in the field since then. His research interests involve investigating mechanistic details of visible-light photoredox catalytic cycles. This methodology can potentially decrease the energetic costs of chemical production and opens the door to truly green, sunlight-driven photochemical syntheses.
Dr. Lamb is dedicated to involving and supporting students in scientific research—as a graduate student at CU Boulder, he was a mentor for the Summer Multicultural Access to Research Training Program, or SMART, and helped organize the first implementation of the Stem Routes Uplift Program.
