Research Interests
Designed and synthesized a novel catalyst for specific applications
Determined surface structures and physico-chemical/reactivity properties of catalysts 
under reaction conditions (in situ) by spectroscopies (Raman, FTIR, UV-Vis, XPS spectroscopy) and surface analysis (BET, TPR/ TPO/ TPD).
Research and development of both fundamental and industrial catalysts(bulk metal oxides, supported metal oxides and zeolites) for various catalytic reactions.
Amination of PEG to polyethylenediamine.
Propane ammoxidation reaction over supported vanadia catalysts.
Synthesis of Ti-silicalite, Sn-silicalite, and V-silicalite for selective oxidation applications.
Synthesis of M-MCM41 (M=V, Nb, Ta, W, Mo) mesoporous materials for oxidation catalysis.
Synthesis of M-ZSM5 (M=Co, Cu, Zn, and Pt) for SCR of NOx by hydrocarbons.
Synthesis TiO2 and NiO nanoparticles.
Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) synthesis over metal alloy catalysts for energy storage and fuel cell applications.
