Our research spans from the core principles of chemistry to cutting-edge applications. We are dedicated to developing novel synthetic methods that tackle the complexities of creating new materials and nanoparticle morphologies, enabling their integration into a wide range of biological and specialized applications. By leveraging physical chemistry, we explore the fundamental properties of nanomaterials, while inorganic chemistry drives our focus on the development of nanoscale MOFs and COFs. The advanced nanomaterials we create are being actively investigated in diverse areas such as sensors, drug delivery systems, photodynamic therapy, LEDs, and anti-counterfeiting technologies, in collaboration with leading researchers.
