Research Interests
Research in my laboratory is primarily focused on producing bio-based industrial products from lipid feedstocks via chemical transformation. Specific areas of study include:
•• 3D Printing of Biomaterials: Soft Biomaterials and Smart Materials
•• Controlled Release Systems: pH and Temperature Reversible Biomaterials for Controlled Drug
Release
•• Green Reactions: Supercritical and Sub-supercritical CO2 Media and Microwave Assisted Reactions
•• Kinetics and Catalysis: Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysts
•• Polymer Science and Engineering: Polymerization, Chemical Modification of Polymers, and Properties Characterization of Polymers
•• Environmental Chemistry and Engineering: Wastewater Treatment and Selective Separation via Ion and Ligand Exchange
•• Functionalized Polymers: Applications in Catalysis and Surfactants
•• Composites: Reinforced and Hybrid Materials
