Profile
My research interest is in the field of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry. I apply the methods of Quantum Mechanics to the fields of chemistry and materials science to study various phenomena such as novel catalytic materials, chemical reactivity on complex surfaces and interfaces, electron transport at nanoscale, energy related molecules and processes, and hydrogen embrittlement. Recently I work on the design and understanding of complex oxide materials for application in Fuel Cells and hybrid organic/inorganic interfaces for use in the photocatalytic water splitting reaction. In addition, I work on development of theory for environmental hydrogen embrittlement (metals) mitigation by ppm impurities in the hydrogen gas. My research is applied in the border area of chemistry, physics, and materials science.
