My research interest:

High resolution laser spectroscopy of diatomic transition metal compounds and small molecules, Ab initio calculation of metal containing radicals.

Study of catalytic reaction of methane and carbon dioxide, and direct conversion of methane to higher hydrocarbons such as benzene and naphthalene using supersonic jet expansion approach.

Catalytic formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on naosized silicates. This research is to study the catalytic formation of PAHs from acetylene over astrophysically relevant olivine and pyroxene type silicates. Reaction products are detected using the time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (TOF-MS) technique.
