My research is currently focused on the development of molecular simulation to tailor the nanostructure of porous and nonporous materials and select the appropriate materials for specific applications such as the storage of energy gases and capture of toxic gases. By performing molecular simulation, it allows us to understand particular phenomena and properties of substances microscopically which cannot be observed by the experimental work. In addition to that, other keys of employing molecular simulation are to reduce experimental effort and material and energy consuming before actual production of materials. Therefore, the target of my research is to design and refine the performance of any processes by deep problem solving from nanoscale to industrial scale.

My recently published research is related to textural characterization of porous materials having any arbitary structure without relying on gas adsorption technique. Extension of this method will be examined to other porous materials and applied to the lab-made materials.
