However, the complexity of biological systems often complicates detailed studies of catalytic cycles. My research centers on the design and characterization of small model complexes that mimic key geometric and electronic properties of metalloenzyme active sites. In particular, we are studying nickel and cobalt complexes using multiple spectroscopic and computational techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/chemistry\/faculty-staff\/van-heuvelen\/research\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4749\">Research<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/chemistry\/faculty-staff\/van-heuvelen\/students\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4755\">Students<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/chemistry\/faculty-staff\/van-heuvelen\/publications\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4763\">Publications and Presentations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/chemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/12\/CV_VanHeuvelen_2025_12.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/chemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/12\/CV_VanHeuvelen_2025_12.pdf\">Curriculum Vitae (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/chemistry\/faculty-staff\/van-heuvelen\/teaching\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4778\">Teaching<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/about\/hmc-experts\/van-heuvelen-katherine\/\">HMC Expert Profile<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R.
