Welcome to the website of the Harutyunyan Research Group, which is embedded in the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry. Of the University of Groningen. The interests of our group span the disciplines of catalysis in organic and organometallic chemistry with an emphasis on emergence of chirality, elucidation of mechanisms. Developing new enantioselective catalytic processes. Elucidating reaction mechanisms with accent on NMR and kinetic studies.

I am currently working as project manager for the Kilo Degree Survey. My role entails coordinating the complete data handling process, from data taking at the telescope, data reduction and quality control to data delivery. Before this I have worked as a scientific researcher, as software developer and tester, and as testing consultant.
