RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE
Research Interest:
I am currently interested in:
1. The synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles using microwave combustion and by flame spray pyrolysis methods.
2. Catalyst regeneration by microwave.
3. Development of new zone purification method.
4. Studying the effect of magnetic field and substrate temperature on the properties of the synthesized thin film in the dc magnetron sputtering.
