Our research focuses on harnessing the unique properties of nanomaterials to address critical challenges in energy, catalysis, and pollution. These nanomaterials include metal oxides, metal sulfides, carbon, and nanobubble gases. Our wet lab research is supported by computational studies using Density Functional Theory (DFT), which enables deeper mechanistic understanding and predictive design of materials and processes.
