Research Interests
In the Inorganic Materials Research Laboratory, we carry out materials research with a green tinge. We use a combination of synthetic spectroscopic and analytical chemistry to develop novel materials. Most of our work involves carbon but we happily consider the whole periodic table our playground. Some examples of our work include our focus on developing high surface area carbon materials that are tailored for environmental remediation applications and our work optimizing synthetic graphite for generating sustainable energy storage materials.
