Research Interest: My current research interest focuses on the design and engineering of innovative photocatalytic devices for energy conversion. Lithography, along with physical and chemical methods, are used to fabricate these devices with innovative configurations in an attempt to address the issues of the current photocatalyst and make strides in the field of heterogeneous photocatalysis. I have been actively involved in projects focusing on the development of novel materials and structures for efficient CO2 reduction, overall water splitting, and water treatment.
