Field of Specialisation

On one hand, my research focus is tailored towards new molecular engineering design, synthesis, and characterization of functional photo-/redox-active materials (including metal-free organic & organometallics compounds) for their applications in photovoltaic dye-sensitized solar cells, catalysis, water purification, fuel cells, and sensor chemistry. My other research involved medicinal chemistry drug design, total synthesis, isolation, and characterization of bioactive natural products phytochemicals.
