Our research interests are in the broad area of organic and macromolecular materials chemistry; specifically includes biobased organic synthesis, self-assembled soft materials for functional applications, nanoparticle embedded soft materials and catalysis, liquid crystals and hydrogels, antimicrobial coatings, green chemistry, understanding growth mechanisms of nanostructures and designing new structures and multifunctional nanocomposites.

With several collaborations at CCNY and outside, we are involved in a multi-disciplinary team effort with the goal of developing eco-friendly products and nanoparticle embedded functional soft materials for a variety of applications.
