My research interests lie at the intersection of porous materials chemistry, gas separation, and sustainable catalysis, with a focus on developing functional materials for efficient CO₂ capture and utilization. I explore the integration of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with ionic liquids to develop porous liquids that combine permanent porosity with fluidity and processability. My work further investigates defect engineering as a strategy to tune pore environments, adsorption behaviour, and catalytic performance.

Key areas of my research include:

• Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Porous Liquids: Design and development of functional porous materials with tailored structural and physicochemical properties.

• CO₂ Capture and Conversion: Integrating selective CO₂ capture with catalytic conversion into value-added products.

• Defect Engineering: Modifying framework structures to enhance accessible porosity, adsorption, and catalytic activity.

• Gas Adsorption and Separation: Understanding adsorption mechanisms, selectivity, and structure–property relationships for efficient gas separation.

• Sustainable Catalysis: Developing multifunctional materials for energy-efficient and environmentally responsible chemical transformations.

Through these research directions, I aim to establish fundamental structure–property relationships and advance versatile porous materials for integrated carbon capture and utilization and other sustainable chemical processes.
