Research

Research interests

Research interests lie in the area of synthesis and characterisation of multifunctional nanoscale catalysts, specifically using exsolution as a nano-engineering method to unlock new materials' functionalities.

These are aimed towards sustainable energy conversion applications and catalysis such as Carbon Dioxide utilisation and Hydrogen production.
