Information:
Pedagogically oriented
- Undergraduate research as a tool for improving the chemistry students' proficiency
- Designing new experiments that will offer clear illustrations of the concepts and principles of physical chemistry as well as to provide experience with precise laboratory measurements
Fundamental and applied
- Photophysics and photochemistry in homogenous and heterogeneous systems
- Nanoparticles growth, surface characterization and redox properties
- Kinetics and mechanism of ionizing radiation induced reactions in aqueous solutions, polymers, metal oxides, and biologically relevant systems
- Sonochemistry of organic and biologically important molecules in aqueous solutions
- Chemical dosimetry (of ionizing radiation) and actinometry (UV – Vis light).
- Applied aspects of radiation chemistry, photochemistry and sonochemistry such as radiation processing of polymers, radiation sterilization of pharmaceuticals and food, solar energy storage, water purification, etc.
