Since 2013, I have conducted research at Purdue University, beginning as a postdoctoral researcher and currently serving as a Research Assistant Professor. My work is dedicated to advancing clean energy technologies and developing innovative solutions that support the transition toward a carbon-negative future.
My research focuses on the design and development of next-generation catalytic materials through the integration of advanced computational modeling and experimental validation. By combining theoretical insights with practical implementation, my work aims to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and scalability of emerging energy systems.
Over the course of my career, I have contributed to a broad range of research initiatives and technological advancements in catalysis, energy conversion, and sustainable materials. Below are selected examples of my work and accomplishments.
