My scientific research career has included several aspects of analytic chemistry, materials science, solid state physics and chemistry, functional evaluations and application-led research in science and technology. Besides I have several years' of industrial work experience within both mechanical and chemical engineering.
In my science research I started from dielectric metal oxides for microwave and mobile communications in 1999, towards a broad range of functional materials used in all of the electromagnetic spectrum over the years. My specialism is to connect theory with experimental data describing the functionality to the material synthesis processes, to finally develop a functional device idea.
I have been a key person in prestigious research projects, writing many national and international research funding grants. I have established industry collaborations with leading brands, such as Hitachi, Nokia, Ericson and Antenova as well as international research institutes and universities in Slovenia, India, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, and Italy.
I have published over 60 papers in high impact journals and been invited as a Plenary, Keynote and Invited Lecturer to prominent international conferences due to my reputation in research.
Both my teaching and research at LSBU focus on clean technology, energy conversion, functional material processing and green hydrogen.
