Research Interests

I am interested in:

• Nanoscience and Technology particularly Carbon Nano-materials (Graphene, Carbon Nano-tubes etc.), their synthesis and applications in physical and biological Sciences, (e.g. Hydrogen storage properties, Solar Cells,  Super-capacitor, Dye Sensitized Solar Cell,  Antibacterial/Antiviral Activities, etc. )
• To calibrate and apply nuclear detection techniques as a tool in Laboratory and under field conditions for soil water measurements.
• Process Simulation of Nuclear Power plant (NPP) for the development of Full Scale training Simulator (FSTS) using “Advanced Simulation Process” (APROS) software.
• To apply Monte Carlo N-Particle Simulation code MCNP for criticality safety calculations.
