Dr. Kelley’s research group focuses on synthesizing novel nitrosamines and probing their behavior with advanced techniques, including NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis, and X-ray diffraction. A central goal is to trap reactive nitrosamine intermediates in cocrystals using supramolecular strategies, enabling detailed study of their chemistry while reducing environmental risks. At a primarily undergraduate institution, she mentors students closely, giving them hands-on experience with state-of-the-art instrumentation and experimental design.
