Nano Main Field:
I am interested in the interactions between biomimetic oligomers and metal nanoparticles towards the generation of chiral nanoparticles and biomimetic nanoparticles assemblies for asymmetric catalysis and sensors materials.
Research Interests
Synthesis and characterization of chiral nanoparticles
Controlled assembly of nanoparticles by biomimetic oligomers
Biomimetic oligomerss/metal NPs hybrid assemblies for biological and chemical sensing via spectroscopic detection (SERS and SEF based sensors)
“Green” catalysis: Asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis using recyclable chiral nanoparticles
