Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on advanced nanomaterials such as graphene, borophene, and carbon-based materials, exploring their synthesis and use in areas including electronics (like terahertz devices and memristor-based computing components), energy storage, water treatment, and photocatalysis (using light to drive chemical reactions like CO2 conversion or hydrogen production). The work spans both fundamental material creation methods and applied device engineering, often connecting material properties to practical technologies.
