SCOPUS IDResearch Overview
My research interests focus mainly on the development of tetrapyrrolic macrocycle-based materials such as porphyrins, phthalocyanines and corroles and organic π-conjugated materials for various sustainable green-energy technologies such as photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and conversion of carbon dioxide to value-added chemicals through photo/electrocatalytic methods and photocatalytic nicotinamide cofactor regeneration or suitable for application in organic photovoltaics, biomedicals, and photocatalytic redox reactions. Briefly, innovating tetrapyrrolic macrocycle-based materials for artificial photosynthesis.
