My research journey has been a cohesive progression, starting with the development of nanocomposites used as fillers in functional organosilanes, which cater to a variety of rubber-based applications such as footwear, sports equipment, and aerospace components. It laid the groundwork for my subsequent research into polymeric composite materials and fabrication of antibacterial coatings and salt-responsive membranes. For the last couple of years, my focus has shifted towards environmental applications, specifically the creation of selective sorbents for water treatment and the development of efficient solid-phase extraction (SPE) methodologies for the selective extraction of critical metals.
