Research focuses on:Polymer Chemistry of Nanotubes; Dendrimer-Based Therapeutics; Covalent Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs); SupramolecularFunctionalization of SWNTs; Dendrimer-Based Imaging Agents
Current research projects can be separated into two main areas, including the polymer chemistry of carbon nanotubes, and dendrimer-based therapeutics. In the former, both covalent and non-covalent carbon nanotube functionalization strategies are being explored, with a focus on producing functional materials that combine the properties of carbon nanotubes with those of other nano-scale structures. In the area of dendrimer-based therapeutics, the emphasis is on the development and investigation of simultaneous diagnostic imaging and drug delivery agents.

Research focuses on:Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging of Materials for Alternative Energy Storage & Conversion; Lithium Ion Batteries & Fuel Cells
Our research group aims to apply advanced solid-state nuclear magnetic techniques, in combination with electrochemical characterisation, to the study of materials of interest as chemical power sources. Lithium ion batteries and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM-FC) provide environmentally friendly energy alternatives. Emerging technologiesinclude sodium ion batteries, and sodium/lithium-air batteries, which are exciting, but so far poorlyunderstood & controlled. Solid-state NMR is well known for its ability to provide site-specific information on structure and dynamics. Weutilise multi-nuclear approaches including 7Li, 6Li, 23Na, and 1H, to investigate processes and interactions such as electrochemical transport, ionic conductivity,hydrogen-bonding,and polymer chain ordering or mobility. In recent years, the field of magnetic resonance has experienced rapid technological and methodological growth, allowing a broader range of materials questions to be addressed.

Research focuses on:Supramolecular Main-Group Chemistry: New Materials and Functional Multimolecular Assemblies
Research focuses on:
In-silico simulations of molecular systems are challenging and it requires great computational resources to simulate real-size systems like chemical reactions, proton, and energy transfer in molecular aggregates, to mention a few. Therefore, there is a need to incorporate and develop numerical tools that scale for real-size simulations of molecular systems. My research group’s primary focus is on developing new numerical methodologies based on machine learning algorithms and modern tools to tack real-size quantum systems.
