My "Sustainability and Sensing Research Group" focuses on developing "greener" routes to advanced functional materials (electronic, photo-responsive polymers), flame retardants, biobased surfactants and therapeutic polymers.

Biocatalytic polymerization, polymers from renewable resources, mechanistic aspects of enzyme catalysis; development of novel eco-friendly biomimetic catalysts, materials for energy conversion and storage.

Developing new technologies for sensing of explosives and toxic metals; Design of practical sensors for wireless structural health monitoring.
