University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland

Short description of main research directions:
I am interested in different aspects of computational chemistry and its application in physical chemistry, environmental chemistry, and enzymatic catalytic reactions both in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. The methodology I have been using is based on molecular modelling computer simulations particularly classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In addition, I am interested in the application of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on carbon-based nanomaterials for energy and environmental-related research. Application of non-aqueous media for energy and CO2 capture in the chemical process by MD simulations. In addition, I am interested in the interaction of Nano-materials particularly carbon-based Nano compounds such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and biochar with biomolecules. The interaction of polymers and bio-polymers with biomolecules for different applications such as drug delivery is also my research direction to pursue by means of computational chemistry-based methods.
