The mission of our group is to develop innovative nanotechnology-driven solutions that would facilitate a cleaner environment, decreased energy consumption, safer and healthier lives for people around the globe, and other benefits to society.

Our current focus is directed towards the synthesis of innovative nanostructured materials for supercapacitors, fuel cells and batteries. We are also interested in carbon nanomaterials, carbon containing nanocomposites, and nanoporous materials with controlled pore size for novel applications in biology, medicine, energy and environment.
