About me

My research work is actually oriented through the following fields:
- Structural characterization of inorganic materials by application of various spectroscopic techniques.
- Electrodeposition of metal, alloy, composite nanostructured coatings.
- Synthesis and characterization (microstructure – properties – photocatlytic, mechanical, corrossion) of coatings.
- Synthesis of metallic and alloy nanostructures (nanowires, nanotubes and nanostructured templates).
- Synthesis and characterisation of "smart" nanocomposites for self-cleaning, antibacterial and anticancer applications.
- Wastewater treatment by development of metal removal processes, as well as green technologies based on novel nanomaterials.
- Exploiting new technologies in the production of multimedia and digital educational material for chemistry and chemical technology teaching.
