Research interests

– Development of new micro-mesoporous and hierarchical materials based on zeolites for use as catalysts for the transformation of bulk molecules, including renewable raw materials, into valuable chemical compounds;
– Creation of new non-metallic materials based on carbon nitride for use in catalysis (condensation, oxidation, etc.) and photocatalysis (hydrogen evolution);
– Synthesis and characterization of highly porous carbons as adsorbents, carriers and catalysts for reactions of fine organic synthesis.
