Currently, I am working at the Materials Engineering Department, KU Leuven. My research is focused on the development of bio-inspired strong, tough, and lightweight high-performance polymer composites using carbonates produced by CO2 capture and mineralization. Additionally, I am interested in the development of polymeric membranes (thin films) for various applications, including carbon reduction through electrochemical/photochemical processes, energy applications (battery and fuel cell components), gas separation, water purification and resource recovery.
