Current Research Topics

I focus on (1) the synthesis of nanostructured materials such as nanoporous inorganic materials, (2) development of nano-scale reaction fields, and (3) development of membrane separation and adsorption processes. Subjects for my study are described as follows;

 

1. Synthesis of zeolite membranes for gas and vapor separation.
2. Selective light olefin synthesis over the zeolite catalyst.
