Research Interests
My Research interests focus on the design and fabrication of functional molecular systems for the selective sensing of bio-relevant ions and small molecules, with emphasis on their application in cellular imaging and other biological contexts. In parallel, suitable ligands are developed for constructing coordination complexes and coordination polymers. These materials are further investigated for their optoelectronic properties, particularly as ITO-based semiconducting devices exhibiting photoelectric effects, thereby bridging molecular sensing, bioimaging, and functional materials for electronic applications.
