Areas of Research/Expertise 

Application of mechanochemistry in broad spectrum of disciplines as waste treatment (e.g. eggshell for adsorption of heavy emtals or dechlorination of halogenated pollutants), synthesis of nanoparticles with antibacterial activity (Ag nanoaprticles using plants) or applicable in biomedicine (sulfides), organic mechanochemistry (transformation of N-substituted indole-3-carboxaldehydes into oximes and chalcones), extractive metallurgy, materials science .
