Our lab is deeply interested in exploring nanomaterials, especially porous materials, for advanced chemical and drug delivery systems. These materials, known for their high surface area, tunable pore structures, and functional versatility, provide transformative solutions for controlled and targeted release applications in diverse fields.
Porous nanomaterials such as mesoporous silica, functionalized polymers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated for applications ranging from sustained release of asphaltene inhibitors in energy production to antimicrobial agents for enhanced food safety. In the biomedical domain, these materials enable precise delivery of drugs, small molecules, and imaging agents, improving therapeutic outcomes while reducing side effects. Our lab is also particularly interested in magnetic nanomaterials that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities, offering cutting-edge approaches for imaging and treatment. By designing and tailoring nanomaterials to meet specific application requirements, our research contributes to innovations in sustainability, healthcare, and industrial efficiency.
