I’m a PhD researcher in Physics focused on materials science—especially metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MXene-based composites, and energy storage systems. My work centers on synthesis and turning experimental data into clear structure–property relationships and mechanistic insights.

In my PhD, I designed and synthesized W–Zr-MOF as a primary system for supercapacitor applications, then investigated its structural and morphological evolution using XRD, SEM, EDS, and FTIR. I also apply CIF-based refinement and visualization (VESTA) and use electrochemical testing (CV, GCD, and EIS) to connect framework formation, bonding/coordination environment, and charge storage behavior.

I broaden the study with comparative MOF systems (MOF-5, ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and Cd-based MOFs) and hybrid approaches (GO- and perovskite-modified frameworks). I’m motivated by problem-driven research and clear scientific communication, and I’ve been preparing manuscripts on W–Zr-MOF for supercapacitors and for bifunctional water-splitting (HER/OER).
