Our research focuses on the rational design and synthesis of nanomaterials for catalysis and sensing applications. We are especially interested in producing fuels and materials sustainably and developing technologies to improve the human condition. 

​​

Some of our projects include the development of:

​​

1. Dual-function materials for CO2 capture and conversion into methanol and higher alcohols.

2. Catalytic materials for the dry reforming of methane (DRM).

3. Soluble and reusable polymer-based catalysts for biomass conversion.

4. Polymer-based catalysts for PET and HDPE recycling.

5. Nanocomposites for the detection of hydroxyl free radicals.
