About
My research expertise is in computational chemistry and materials science, with a strong focus on the design and development of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials for energy storage and conversion applications. My work particularly emphasizes the design of novel 2D carbon and boron nitride (BN) based materials as promising candidates for lithium batteries, thermoelectric devices, and electrocatalytic applications. Currently, my research is centered on computational heterogeneous catalysis.
I have a solid foundation in organic, inorganic, solid-state, and quantum chemistry, along with extensive experience in Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. I have collaborated closely with interdisciplinary teams spanning organic/organometallic chemistry, materials science, and electrochemistry, helping bridge theoretical predictions with experimental validation.
In addition to my research activities, I actively contribute to editorial and peer-review efforts that support and strengthen the global scientific community in chemistry and materials science.
