Research Interest
My research focuses on advancing solar-driven technologies and methodologies with the goal of addressing the interconnected challenges at the confluence of the Water-Energy-Food-Environment nexus. Central to my work is the concept of the “Complementary Solar Conversion Approach,” which aims to harness and integrate diverse technologies and materials to enhance the efficiency of solar energy capture and conversion, ultimately leading to improved solar energy utilization in various contexts. My research interests encompass green fuel synthesis, energy storage, solar fuels, green hydrogen, photoelectrochemical devices, and artificial photosynthesis.
