Porous crystalline polymers are emerging materials suitable for heterogeneous catalysis. The long-range structural order helps to understand the orientation of catalytically active centers inside the framework. Moreover, the stability and the porosity provide an additional advantage to increasing the turnover number (TON) and good recyclability during the catalytic process.Therefore, my research interest is in designing and synthesising new porous crystalline polymers for heterogeneous catalysis.

My field of research is interested in designing porous materials and performing catalysis efficiently. To design a porous material, a fully aromatized reactions (fully conjugated polymers) are used or functionalized the carbon materials. Thermodynamically stable form of porous materials can be used in energy materials in a variety of ways. For one example, it can be applied to hydrogen production through water electrolysis, ammonia decomposition, or other organic chemical reactions (dehydrogenation) for a carbon-free economy.
