  1. Main research direction:

 (should have a picture to illustrate)

 “Design and synthesis of advanced nanomaterials, including biomass-derived carbon, semiconductor-based heterojunctions, and metal/non-metal composites, for efficient catalytic and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. My work focuses on developing sustainable, high-performance materials for water purification, understanding degradation pathways using advanced analytical techniques, and integrating these materials into practical environmental remediation systems”.
