Research interests include Catalysis, Chemical Reaction Mechanisms, Surface Chemistry, and CO2 Conversion, with a focus on understanding active sites and oxygen species in heterogeneous catalysis. His recent publications analyze ethylene epoxidation, CO2 hydrogenation, and oxidative dehydrogenation reactions using in situ/operando spectroscopy and microscopy techniques.

Key trends in his publications (2016–2025):

• Elucidating reaction intermediates and oxygen species in catalytic oxidation processes
• Advancing operando methods (XPS, electron microscopy) for real-time surface analysis
• Optimizing Ni-based catalysts for CO2 conversion and selectivity control
• Exploring molecular design principles in organic dye synthesis (2016)
