University of Maryland College Park
Inventing New Chemistry for a Better Future.
We study reaction mechanisms to design catalytic strategies for selective C–H functionalization and other transformations that expand the synthetic toolbox.
Research areas
1 Mechanism Investigation
We probe underexplored reactive intermediates to inform and direct method and catalyst innovation.
2 Reaction Development
We craft new routes to functionalize common C–H bonds, harnessing transition-metal catalysis to broaden synthetic starting points.
3 Catalyst Design
We engineer catalysts that enable activation of inert bonds—tackling sustainability and foundational reactivity challenges in synthesis.

Boyle lab team
Chemists, innovators, and collaborators at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Our group brings together graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduates with a shared passion for discovery in organic synthesis. We value curiosity, rigor, and collaboration as we explore new ways to understand mechanisms, design catalysts, and develop transformative reactions. Together, we create an environment that not only drives research forward but also trains the next generation of scientists.
Publications
Pushing the boundaries of organic synthesis.
From fundamental mechanism to practical tools, the Boyle Lab at the University of Maryland College Park is committed to expanding what chemistry can do.
Our work sits at the intersection of mechanistic insight, reaction development, and catalyst design. By combining curiosity-driven research with innovative methods, we open new pathways for building molecules, training the next generation of scientists, and creating chemistry that matters.
