Research 

The Mirjafari Lab focuses on rational design and development of new functional organic-ion materials via integrating concepts and strategies from ionic liquid chemistry, bioinspired materials, organic synthesis, and biology. Our efforts aim at employing these materials to address key societal challenges in health and sustainability.
