I am currently a Research Fellow and a Program Manager of the ARC Laureate Fellowship Program at the Queensland Micro and Nanotechnology Center (QMNC), Griffith University. My research interests focus in using MICROFLUIDICS and ULTRASOUNDS as an effective platform in assisting catalytic reactions that are generally considered sluggish and challenging. My expertise covers the catalytic conversion of bio-based substrates into industrially relevant platform and commodity chemicals, and the development of novel catalytic processes for sustainable chemistry.
