Research Interests
My research interests focus on magnetron sputtering–based thin film deposition and the development of functional nanostructured coatings for advanced applications. I work on optimizing deposition parameters to tailor film composition, morphology, and optoelectronic properties. A major emphasis of my research is on photocatalysis, particularly the design of efficient thin‐film photocatalysts for environmental remediation and energy-related applications. The integration of controlled thin film growth with photocatalytic performance evaluation enables the development of stable, high-activity materials for sustainable technologies.
