His research focuses on graphene synthesis via soft chemistry in various solvents, biomass valorization (e.g., digestates, sludge) through carbonization for catalysis and CO₂ adsorption, and hybrid perovskites (MAPbI₃) synthesized via mechanosynthesis for photon/X-ray detection and electromagnetic wave absorption. Recent projects highlight applications in energy storage (lithium-ion batteries), biomedical systems (drug delivery, photothermia), and environmental solutions (CO₂ capture).

Recent publications emphasize advanced nanomaterials for energy applications (iron oxide nanoclusters, graphene composites), biomedical innovation (light-responsive drug carriers), and hybrid perovskite development, with subfields spanning battery technology, cancer therapies, and electromagnetic wave management.
