Research: Sustainable Energy, Alternative Fuels, Nanostructured Materials, Thin-Films and MEMS, Sensors and Therapeutics.

1. Sustainable Energy- Solar to electrical energy conversion, dye-sensitized solar cells, molecular and flexible photovoltaics.

2. Alternative Fuels– Catalytic water-splitting for H₂ generation, fuel cell, subcritical and supercritical treatment followed by enzymatic processes for biofuels.

3. Nanostructured Materials– Self-assembly of nanoparticles, synthesis of pyrophoric and energetic materials.

4. Thin-Films and MEMS– Ordered mesoporous metal oxides, microthruster, and MEMS devices for biological applications.

5. Sensors and Therapeutics– Biosensors (bacteria, environmental pollutants, disease markers) and control drug delivery systems.

Teaching: Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering, Reactor Design, Transport Phenomena, Multiphase Reactions and Reactors, Sustainable Energy, and Nanomaterials.
