Biography
My research is rooted in synthetic inorganic chemistry, focusing on porous materials of importance in adsorption, separation, catalysis, opto-electronic materials, and energy storage. We approach these materials by using templating synthesis methods under the guidance of modern computational chemistry. During the process, we aim to understand the driving force for the self-assembly of structure-building units and the crystallization of porous materials. In the long run, my objective is to prepare new materials with desired structure and properties by using the so-called "molecular engineering" approach.
