Research: 

1. **Development of New Chemical Reactions in Continuous Hollow Fiber Membrane Reactor Networks**: My research involves developing new chemical reactions within a continuous hollow fiber membrane reactor network, focusing on advanced materials for catalysis and membrane applications. This includes creating multifunctional organic catalysts for industrial chemical transformations, such as converting CO2 to organic cyclic carbonates and synthesizing amino alcohols. A novel method was developed for immobilizing these catalysts on hollow fibers for use in continuous flow reactors, which are ideal for large-scale organic synthesis.

2. **3D-Printed Monoliths for Structured Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)**: I contributed to the development of 3D-printed monoliths as an alternative to manufacturing structured metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The study addresses the issue of poor rheological properties in 3D-printed MOFs by using gelated precursors, optimizing in-situ growth conditions, and improving the properties of the final structures.

3. **Synthesis of Bifunctional Catalysts for Continuous Flow Processes**: My work on bifunctional catalysts involved embedding SiO2 and ZrO2 nanoparticles into polyamide-imide hollow fibers, followed by post-grafting with amino-silane. This integrated platform efficiently converts fructose and glucose to HMF, a valuable biobased precursor for biofuels and polymers, in a continuous-flow process without the need for intermediate separation.

4. **Carbon Dioxide Reduction and Capture, Electrochemical and Thermochemical System Method**: This project focuses on combining electrochemical and thermochemical systems to convert CO2 into hydrocarbons, fuels, and chemicals. Electrochemical systems use electrocatalysts to convert CO2 to carbon monoxide, while thermochemical systems convert CO to valuable products under specific conditions. Microreactors are used for precise control and optimization of these processes, aiming to develop efficient and sustainable CO2 reduction methods. Additionally, my research encompasses scalable methods for CO2 capture, catalytic deconstruction of plasma-treated single-use plastics into value-added chemicals, and continuous manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. These areas address environmental challenges and contribute to sustainable practices in chemical production and waste management.

5. **The Direct Air Capture (DAC) Project**: This project focuses on capturing CO2 directly from the atmosphere, addressing challenges related to the low concentration of CO2 in ambient air. The research aims to develop efficient and economically feasible methods by exploring novel materials, process optimizations, and innovative reactor designs to enhance DAC performance and reduce costs.

6. **Catalytical Deconstruction of Plasma-treated Single-Use Plastics to Value-added Chemicals and Novel Materials**: This project targets the catalytic deconstruction of plasma-treated single-use plastics to produce valuable chemicals like C2-C4 olefins, BTX, and oxygenated intermediates. Non-thermal plasma treatment breaks down plastics, facilitating catalytic conversion. The project aims to recycle plastic waste into valuable products while reducing energy consumption compared to using virgin plastics.
