My research areas are on classic chemistry mainly Inorganic Chemistry areas, both synthesis and characterization. At the moment I am carrying our researches on chemical analysis of indigenous plant species which have medicinal properties. The other research is on the synthesis of chiral materials which are very essential in pharmaceutical industry for purifying drugs to enantioform
