Research:

1. Synthesis (IMP, DPU) and characterization (PZC, TPR, TPD, BET, pore volume, H2 uptake, SEM, TEM) of gold catalysts
2. Gas phase hydrogenation of aromatic nitrocompounds (benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, nitrobenzaldehyde and p-chloronitrobenzene) over gold supported catalysts
3. Reaction kinetics
4. Synthesis, characterization and use of Molybdenum nitride and carbide as gold catalysts supports
