Research

Our research focuses on crystal-chemistry of minerals and related compounds in relation to their properties. We mostly applied XRD-based methods combined with DFT-based theoretical computations and spectroscopic analyses.

Our Focus:

  • Zeolites and Microporous Materials

  • Crystal chemistry of Minerals

  • Structure-Properties relationship in functional minerals and materials

Labs and infrastructure
