About

I am an Organic Chemist and the exciting research areas benefitting the social and environmental concerns has made me an material chemist. The materials in which I am interested are organic small molecules and porous polymeric frameworks with a potential in photocatalysis and organocatalysis. Synthesis of solar fuels by utilization of solar light is challenging goal and I have a great interest to expertise this section of research. Other related fields in which I work are small molecules for blue-light emitting diods, solar cells, liquid crystals and heterogeneous catalysis.
