Research Focus

I am interested in the synthesis of magnetic and non-magnetic materials for the removal of contaminants from water through absorption, and photocatalysis techniques among others. My contributions to knowledge in the area of synthesis of sustainable nanoparticles for environmental applications have been published in reputable journals and their impact is evidenced by the continuing citations from independent researchers. My strength lies in collaborative research, academic writing, diligence, readiness to learn, and science popularization.
