Blake is a graduate student in the Darko lab at the University of Tennessee. He is working on asymmetric intramolecular C–H insertion using dirhodium complexes with tethered axially coordinated ligands to improve selectivity. Additionally, he is working on using ∆3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines as photocatalyzed diazo compound precursors for rhodium carbene formation.
