SCOPUS IDResearch Overview
Our research focuses on the characterization and utilization of porous and functional materials within the field of catalysis. We exhibit particular interest in elucidating the structure and properties of active sites, host-guest interactions, and reaction mechanisms over solid catalysts, employing solid-state NMR and synchrotron-related techniques. Our objective is to gain comprehensive insights into the fundamental aspects of these materials and their consequential role in catalytic processes.
