  Expertise
* Synthesis of tailored porous oxides, in particular of silica, and alumosilicates with controlled pore structure and morphology
* Synthesis of ordered mesostructured silicas as nanoparticles and agglomeration to hierarchically ordered beads of controlled size and pore structure;
* Characterization of porous materials by gas adsorption, mercury porosimetry, size exclusion chromatography and other techniques
* Application of the pore network model to evaluate the pore structural parameters and pore connectivity in collaboration with A.I. Liapis and B.A. Grimes;
* Chemical surface functionalization by silanization and by polymer coating, introducing hydrophilic/hydrophobic/charged and complexing ligands, resp. on particulate and on monolithic type of silica supports;
* Liquid phase based separation processes at analytical/preparative and process scale, Evaluation of pressure driven and electrically driven modes;
* Development and evaluation of multidimensional Liquid Chromatographic (MD-LC) separation approaches with integrated sample clean up;
* Design of functionalized adsorbents for MD-LC/MS in proteomics
* Analysis  of endogenous peptides out of biofluids by fully automated 2D-LC/MS
