Nanomedicine Manufacturing and Applications

For about two decades, Prof. Francis Verpoort has carried out broad and fruitful teaching and research activity at Ghent University in various areas of materials chemistry, including organometallics, catalysis, molecular spectroscopy, related with notable applications in the production of fine chemicals and advanced polymeric materials. He has developed an extensive international scientific cooperation with scientists worldwide, taking part as an active member in different international scientific organizations, as well as in numerous successful bilateral collaboration projects with foreign academic institutions and universities across Europe, China, Russia, India, and in the UAE. In 2011, he was also appointed as Chair Professor at Wuhan University of Technology, China, where he established a research group covering organometallics and materials chemistry. Prof. Verpoort’s main research interests concern the structure and mechanisms of organometallic material chemistry, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, MOFs and MOPs, Porous Organic Polymers (POPs), water splitting, olefin metathesis and its applications in fine chemicals and polymers, CO2 conversion, polymers. A particular specialism is the application of MOFs, POPs for the environment, water purification, and downstream upgrading applications. Dr. Ikram Ahmad is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Sahiwal, Pakistan. His research interests are inorganic material chemistry, catalysis, nanomaterials and their application in organic synthesis, organic transformations, degradation, sensing, and photocatalysis. Dr. Awais Ahmad is a Researcher at the Department of Organic Chemistry, University of Cordoba in Spain. He completed his graduation from Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan, and obtained his master's degree from the University of Lahore, Pakistan. Dr. Ahmad's research focuses on various areas including nanomaterials, composite materials, coated materials, heterogeneous catalysis, MOF, self-sacrifice MOF, single atom catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrochemical sensor formulations. He has applied these materials to address challenges in wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, organic pollutant degradation, CO2 conversion, supercapacitors, dye-sensing solar cells, gel electrolytes, hazardous metal sensing in wastewater, conversion of hazardous gases, nitrogen fixation, catalysis for organic transformation, Li-S batteries, GCE nafion fiber, and water splitting.
