Porous Materials
Design and synthesis of mesoporous silicas, MOFs, and zeolitic frameworks (MCM-41, SBA-15, KIT-6, SAPO-35, ZIF-8, NCKU-52).
Research
Designing materials, atom by atom, for problems worth solving.
Photo- & Electrocatalysis
CO₂ reduction and hydrogen production using nanostructured composites and g-C₃N₄ hybrids.
Heterogeneous Catalysis
Catalytic dye degradation, Suzuki–Miyaura coupling, esterification, methanol-to-olefins, and selective hydrogenation/dehydrogenation.
Gas Adsorption & Separation
Porous materials for CO₂ capture by adsorption and gas separation, alongside quinone-functionalised MOFs and related quinone-based materials for visible-light-driven CO₂ reduction.

Methods
From synthesis bench to operando spectroscopy.
I have hands-on expertise across the full materials pipeline — synthesis, characterization (PXRD, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS, FT-IR, UV-Vis-DRS, TG-DTA), catalytic evaluation (GC), and structure–property analysis. Recent training at the SpectroCAT 2026 Summer School (LCS, ENSICAEN, Caen) extends this to in-situ and operando IR/Raman for catalysis.
