Research
My research interest is in applying nanotechnologies to develop hierarchical porous materials for a variety of applications including catalysis, micro and nano filtration, gas separation, microbiology, controlled drug delivery, cross flow emulsification, etc. I have investigated new nano- & micro-engineered porous structures using polymers and porous molecular sieves such as mesoporous silica, graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal-organic frameworks, and boron nitride nanotubes.
