Interests

I specialize in nanomaterial-based strategies for heavy metal removal from wastewater, focusing on magnetic nanoparticle-immobilized bacterial biomass as a cost-effective and eco-friendly adsorbent. My research explores biomass-derived materials, biofunctional coatings, and hybrid nanocomposites to enhance adsorption efficiency and selectivity for toxic metals like zinc. Utilizing advanced spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and molecular biology techniques, I design and characterize novel materials to improve water purification processes. By integrating nanotechnology with environmental science, I aim to develop sustainable and scalable solutions for water treatment and pollution control. In parallel, my research in zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) focuses on electrode material innovation, electrolyte engineering, and interfacial modifications to enhance battery performance, lifespan, and safety. I explore functional coatings, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and biomass-derived materials to mitigate dendrite formation and improve electrochemical stability. My expertise in spectroscopy, surface science, and molecular design enables me to advance next-generation energy storage solutions that align with global sustainability goals.
