My research is focused on experimental physics concentrating towards renewable energy methods and nanoscience evolution. The research includes the impacts of the nanomaterial in organic solar panel fabrications, green-synthesis, geological deposits from different places and aerosols from fossil fuels. The research goes into looking at the structural, particle growth, chemical compositions and the electrical properties. The material is aimed to have potential uses in the pharmaceutical, energy generation and geosciences.
