My motivation is to share my ideas and research passion for the advancement of scientific knowledge and the development of a sustainable society. The excessive utilization of fossil fuels has enhanced the percentage of CO2 emission and endangered the entire ecosystem by bringing in consequences like global warming. Having acquired a strong experience in electronic structure theory and computational simulation techniques for studying the interfacial properties of wet-electrified surfaces, I desire to implement my knowledge to study the electrocatalytic properties of materials for sustainable energy generation and storage from renewable resources and broaden the prospects of surface catalysis to a multidisciplinary aspect, bridging their specific applications between nanocatalysis and nanoisozymes. I am also greatly interested in collaborating with chemical industries and experimental research groups, where my knowledge and experiences in electrocatalysis could be used to enhance the performance of fuel cells, formulating efficient methods for the conversion of CO2 into useful organic products, devising electrochemical sensors and designing anti-corrosive materials.
