RESEARCH ACTIVITY

His interests are in the synthesis of composite inorganic nanomaterials based on engineered inorganic nanostructures, with controlled crystalline phase and morphology. Currently, his research is focused on PBA-based nanomaterials for environmental remediation and sustainable energy production, including photodegradation of emerging contaminants, hydrogen production through water splitting, and batteries.
