Welch funding Enables Dr. Villagran’s Investigation
Friday, April 24th, 2026
Dino Villagrán combines a drive to better understand the basics of electrochemistry with research focused on applying those insights to real-world energy and environmental issues. He is exploring the rational design of molecular systems and well-defined inorganic architectures to investigate electron transfer (ET) and electrocatalysis for the activation of small molecules of energy and environmental concern.
His lab spans physical, inorganic, and computational chemistry, using multiple-bonded bimetallic systems and organic macrocycle architectures to study multi-electron redox chemistry and delineate electron transfer reactions through covalent or hydrogen-bond pathways.
