Research Interests

Circular Economy Technologies, Upcycling & Sustainability

• Plastic/biomass wastes-to-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and hydrogen (H₂) via a two-stage pyrolysis-catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD)
• In-house synthesized CNTs-based polymer composite fabrication for use as flexible sensors in sports biomechanic applications
• Bio-based hybrid superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) for hygiene and biomedical applications
• Development of domestic waste-derived solid sorbents for CO₂ capture technologies (post combustion & direct air CO₂ (DAC) capture)
• Decentralized modular water treatment system “Prompt Use (tap water), Prompt Drink (potable water)” via RadicalClear technology
