RESEARCH INTERESTS

The current focuses of my team are (1) to create effective antimicrobials that address the challenges of antibiotic-resistance through materials innovation and (2) to contribute to waste reduction and a circular economy by developing cost-effective methods to up-recycling textile waste in particular those contain synthetic fibres. 

 

For antimicrobials, our interest is novel nanoparticle-assisted delivery and resistance-breaking antimicrobials and stimuli-responsive antimicrobial hydrogels with multiple modes of bacterial treatment.

 

For textile waste recycling, we are interested in catalytic depolymerisation of synthetic fibres.

 

My Current research focus:

(1)  Recycling/upcycling synthetic textile wastes.

 

(2) Supramolecular assembly: stimuli-responsive hydrogels for antimicrobial and wound healing applications.

 

(3) Multifunctional nanoparticles for antimicrobial applications.
