Research Interests
My research primarily focuses on utilizing reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and various post-modification techniques to synthesize innovative materials. I'm particularly interested in two main areas of exploration.
Firstly, I've delved into the application of these techniques within 3D printed continuous flow reactors. This innovative approach not only streamlines the synthesis process but also opens up new avenues for scalable production of advanced materials.
Secondly, I'm investigating the synthesis of block copolymers with potential applications as nanoporous materials for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology.
