General Research Interests
My personal research is focused on two different formats of porous polymer materials, PARTICLES and MONOLITHS, which can be used in a wide variety of applications such as materials for hydrogen storage, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrochromatography (CEC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), matrices for interference-free MALDI TOF MS,  building blocs for lab-on-the-chip, solid-phase extraction, carriers for immobilization of synthetic and natural catalysts, supports for solid-phase organic chemistry, scavengers, and reagents.
