About Me.
With a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences, I am an inquisitive and passionate chemist specializing in the design and synthesis of flexible and semirigid bis(tridentate) ligands and their multidimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Furthermore, my research endeavors have centered on unlocking the potential applications of MOFs, particularly in heterogeneous catalysis for valuable C-C bond-forming organic transformations.
My research at the University of Liverpool revolves around the designing and synthesizing novel amino acid & peptide scaffolds and their flexible metal-organic frameworks (FMOFs) materials with precise control over structural formation. Subsequently, examined their ability for the sorption and separation of small molecules by constructing chromatographic columns packed with FMOFs.
