Research
Interest
My research interests fall into the synthesis of nanopowders via chemical routes such as
sol-gel, co-precipitation, and milling, with the goal of identifying economical
and simple methods for nanoparticle and coating preparation. This includes a
focus on sol-gel techniques for creating thin films and self-cleaning coatings.
I also study microstructure development, electrical and optical properties of
materials. I employ computational methods such as DFT, modeling, and simulation
to understand and optimize material behavior. Furthermore, I am dedicated to
applying green chemistry and photocatalytic methods for environmental
remediation, as well as exploring the potential of memristors (memory
resistors), varistors (variable resistors), MOF-based sensors, and porous
ceramic materials for various applications, including surge arrestors,
switching, memories, renewable energy and CO2 detection. My work
also encompasses the study of rare earth elements, the sintering of inorganic
compounds (both oxides and non-oxides compounds), and the development of novel
pigments and persistent luminescence materials including the silicate,
carbonate and oxide compounds. I am interested in investigation of rare earth
elements on electrical and optical properties and microstructure developments
of SnO2, TiO2, ZrO2-based materials.
