About

I am a passionate and accomplished research professional dedicated to exploring the captivating world of inorganic materials, desalination, and energy storage devices. My mission is to drive positive change in water treatment, energy storage, and environmental sustainability. With a solid foundation in metal-organic chemistry, I specialize in synthesizing and characterizing groundbreaking materials such as mesmerizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), captivating coordination polymers, and cutting-edge nanomaterials. These innovations have tremendous potential to revolutionize desalination processes and propel energy storage technologies forward. Additionally, I have ventured into the realm of two dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene oxide (GO) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) based materials, for wastewater treatment applications.Actively engaging in conferences and workshops, I relish the opportunity to exchange knowledge and establish meaningful connections. Collaboration has always been at the heart of my scientific journey, and I am eager to pursue further research collaborations that push the boundaries of knowledge at the intersection of inorganic materials, desalination, and energy storage.
