Research Project

My area of expertise focuses on developing nanostructured materials for electrochemical and photocatalytic applications. In order to improve charge separation, interfacial charge transfer, and redox activity, I design and investigate heterostructures and composites based on 2D materials. Through sensible material design and surface engineering, my work aims to increase electrocatalytic and sensing performance as well as the efficient breakdown of organic contaminants under visible light.
