Our research is focused on the development of nanomaterials for a variety of applications. Major emphasis on the synthesis of porous materials, such as Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), Porous Organic Polymers (POPs), and nanocomposites. We aim to establish connections between structural characteristics and physical properties and devise synthetic approaches for crafting specialized materials suitable for drug delivery, chemicals, energy, and environmental uses. Continuous flow processes are being adopted for material synthesis and for performing catalytic reactions.
