<Aim>

My research focuses on addressing global challenges in the field of renewable energy and sustainable environment using chemical catalysis. The development of selective catalysts for chemical reactions using the tools of porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials is being particularly emphasized. The solid-liquid interface may be modulated systematically for efficient catalytic reactions. I plan to design nanomaterials for biofuel application, CO₂ reduction, solar water splitting and heterogeneous catalysis.
