I'm working on the development and characterization of advanced materials for energy, environmental, and infrastructure applications, with a focus on understanding structure–property relationships, degradation mechanisms, and material performance under realistic operating conditions. My research leverages extensive expertise in advanced characterization techniques, including SEM, STEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, electrochemical analysis, and synchrotron-based methods such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) through Brookhaven National Laboratory user facilities. I am particularly interested in sustainable materials, corrosion mitigation, functional coatings, nanomaterials, and materials solutions that address challenges in energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and advanced manufacturing.
