"There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom."
— Richard Feynman
Studying the properties of nanomaterials is paramount due to its far-reaching implications across cross-disciplinary fields. My research involves synthesizing monometallic nanoparticles (Ag, ZnO, TiO2, etc.), bi-metallic nanoparticles (Cu–Ag, Ni–Ag, Cu–Ni, etc.), metal–semiconductor nanocomposites (Ag–TiO2, CdS–Ag, etc.), 1D and 2D layered nanostructures (nanofibers, nanorods, nanotubes, GO, rGO, MXenes, etc.), and supramolecular nanozymes among others for various applications, such as heat transfer, gas sensing, photocatalysis, enzymatic activity, and nanodentistry. Currently, I am working on metal–semiconductor nanocomposites for wastewater treatment and a review of dissipative supramolecular nanozymes—a new subclass I propose in artificial enzymes.
