Our lab is interested in development of nanoporous materials for “saving our Earth”, which can be utilized in hydrogen storage and its isotope separation, carbon capture, toxic gas sensing, and catalysts. For that, we focus on synthesis of functional coordination compounds (metal-organic frameworks), which has high surface area and porosity.

■ Artificial Photosynthesis
As part of a broad effort to achieve breakthrough innovations in energy production, our research is aimed at developing revolutionary methods to generate fuels directly from sunlight.

■ Biosensing
Biosensors combine a biological component, which can offer exquisite selectivity of detection, with a physical component to provide the readout mechanism. The biological element includes antibodies and enzymes which offer highly selective and sensitive detection chemistries.
