About me

My research focuses on the design and synthesis of ionic liquids, functional nanomaterials, and hybrid biomaterials applied in biomedical engineering, drug delivery systems, and environmental purification technologies. I pay particular attention to the surface functionalization of nanomaterials, including biopolymer-based materials, as well as to studies of the structure, dynamics, and properties of ionic liquids, employing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques.
I am the author of 15 patents related to the synthesis and applications of new ionic liquids and hybrid nanomaterials, and I have presented my work at numerous national and international scientific conferences.
