Research Interests

​I'm generally interested in application of advanced spectroscopic techniques to various heterogeneous catalysis tasks. This includes implementation and development of existing methods to fit the particular reaction of interest. Currently, my focus is on CO2 valorization on structured inorganic catalysts including specific reactions relevant to the process.
