Research Interests

My research interest encompasses sustainable processes for developing porous materials and membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN), adsorption and catalysis. My work investigates the structure-property relationship in advanced composite membrane, surface modified membranes, mixed matrix membranes and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
