Functional nanomaterials synthesis for advanced applications is an important research area in our group. We investigate molecular design based synthetic approaches for making multifunctional nanomaterials and their hybrids and structure-property correlations in applications such as health and clean energy. Making relatively stable bio-inorganic and organic-inorganic nanohybrid materials with enhanced features and possibilities of material confinements of nanometric sizes are our main objectives. The major activities in our group is available in the research programs page.
