Research Interests
My research interests lie in exploring new dimensions of nanomaterials, focusing on the design and synthesis of atomically precise and hybrid nanosystems with tailored properties. I aim to develop novel nanostructures that can address challenges in both biology and catalysis, including applications in cancer therapy, bioimaging, biosensing, and nanozyme development. In addition, I am keen to investigate their potential in energy-related applications, particularly in electrochemical processes such as electrocatalysis and energy conversion, where the unique surface chemistry and electronic properties of these nanomaterials can be leveraged to enhance efficiency and selectivity.
Nanotheranostics
I am interested in developing multifunctional nanomaterials for theranostic applications that integrate therapy and diagnosis within a single platform. By tailoring surface functionalities, I aim to achieve targeted drug delivery, controlled therapeutic release, and enhanced imaging, enabling precise disease treatment and real-time monitoring for next-generation nanomedicine.
Nanozymes
I am also interested in designing nanomaterials with enzyme-like catalytic activity (nanozymes) for biomedical and environmental applications. By tuning their composition, surface chemistry, and electronic structure, I aim to develop highly active and stable nanozymes capable of mimicking natural enzymes for applications in biosensing, reactive oxygen species generation, and therapeutic modulation within biological systems.
Catalysis and Energy Conversion
I aim to explore the catalytic potential of atomically precise and hybrid nanostructures in both electrocatalysis and organic catalysis. My research focuses on understanding the structure–property–activity relationship to design efficient and durable catalysts. By tuning the atomic configuration, electronic structure, and surface functionality, I seek to achieve high activity, selectivity, and stability in key reactions such as water splitting, oxygen evolution, and C–S or C–C coupling transformations.
Metal Complexes for Theranostics
Building on my experience in ligand synthesis and coordination chemistry, my research aims to design and develop novel metal complexes for theranostic applications. By integrating diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities within a single framework, these systems can enable targeted imaging, controlled drug delivery, and precise therapeutic response. Through rational ligand engineering, I seek to create metal-based architectures with tunable properties that can bridge molecular design and biomedical application.
