Lucia Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Queen's University, specializing in Inorganic Chemistry. Her research focuses on applying the principles of green chemistry within the emerging field of main-group supramolecular interactions. These interactions, including secondary bonding and sigma-hole interactions, offer potential applications in materials science and medicine. Specifically, Lucia investigates non-covalent interactions that involve main-group elements, which exhibit strength and directionality comparable to hydrogen bonds. Her work aims to integrate these unique interactions with metal-coordination chemistry, catalysis, and chemical biology. Notably, she explores how sigma-holes located on heavy main-group elements can play a pivotal role in guiding the assembly of structures and introducing desired functionalities into various projects. This interdisciplinary approach reflects the innovative nature of her research in the development of advanced materials and methodologies within the field of chemistry.
