Reviewer of more than 200 papers in international journals with high-impact scientific rankings. Specialist in the area of solid fuel characterization, the thermo-chemical conversion processes, such as pyrolysis, gasification, and torrefaction, as well as the physical and chemical activation of bio-based materials for obtaining value-added products for their utilization in various sectors. Also, within the scientific research field of application of various experimental techniques for physicochemical characterization of solid (char/ash), liquid (tar), and gaseous (syngas) products, originated from thermal conversion of fossil fuels and biofuels, it is an expert, especially for interpretations and explanations of lignocellulosic material degradation reactions arising from solid-state kinetics and thermodynamic analysis. The scientific research field of application of various experimental techniques for physico-chemical characterization of solid (char/ash), liquid (tar), and gaseous (syngas) products originated from the thermal conversion of biobased and waste materials. The main focus is on interpretations and explanations of lignocellulosic material degradation reactions arising from solid-state kinetics and thermodynamic analysis. A special emphasis is placed on the skills involved in preparing and best interpreting the process parameters estimated from the lab-scale experiments and their adaptations and applications to a large-scale level for industrial purposes. In addition, the application of thermal degradation of biopolymers and their composites, the materials applicable in biotechnology, nanomaterials, and developing new carbon materials for making fuel-cell catalysts and different resources for biorefinery concepts
