Main fields of research:
- Green manufacturing approaches to design multifunctional nanocomposite membranes applied to separation processes: water desalination and water reuse; valorization of mineral and natural resources; environmental remediation; gas separation; adaptive systems to regulate microclimatic conditions for textiles, agriculture, building and cultural heritage assets.
- Directed assembly of low dimensional nanomaterials (quantum dots, 1D, 2D materials, nanoparticles…), bio-based and reactive compounds in nanofilms and coatings for assisted molecular identification and separation.
- Design and fabrication of dual/multi-stimuli-responsive smart membranes with associated sensing, induced-gated channels, antiwetting, self-cleaning, antifouling, adsorption/desorption, driven mass, heat and charge transport, molecular-recognizable separation, catalytic properties
- Surface engineering: Study and modification of tailored chemistry and morphology; Interfacial interaction; Hydration/ Dehydration; Roll-to-roll effect
