About
Independent and innovative Physical Chemist specializing in advanced functional nanomaterials, photocatalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemical catalysis, membrane technologies and advanced oxidation processes for environmental remediation and clean energy conversion. My research integrates rational material design, advanced characterization, and mechanistic investigations to develop high performance materials for hydrogen generation, energy storage and renewable energy, water treatment, and antimicrobial applications. I have authored over 22 peer-reviewed publications, including first-author papers in Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy, Chemical Engineering Journal and Coordination Chemistry Reviews (h-index: 11; 480+ citations), hold three filed patents, and serve as a reviewer for leading Elsevier journals.
My research has been recognized through competitive HEC BS, MPhil and PhD scholarships, HEC research funding, multiple research awards, and active participation in international conferences and advanced materials workshops. Supported by international collaborations with the US, China and UAE Universities, I am committed to advancing next-generation catalytic materials that address critical global challenges in energy, water and environmental sustainability.
