Jabir Salekhe is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at the Institute of Advanced Materials, Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWr), working under the supervision of dr. Bartek Szyja and dr. James Gardner (KTH). 

His doctoral research centers on the photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ using metal–organic systems, particularly focusing on:

  • The design and computational analysis of pincer complexes to improve visible-light-driven CO₂ conversion efficiency

  • Use of Time‑Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD‑DFT) to study and predict photoactivity

  • Integrating machine learning models for property prediction of metal–ligand systems

  • Immobilization of pincer complexes on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to enhance stability and catalytic performance

Jabir's expertise combines:

  • Computational chemistry techniques (TD‑DFT)

  • Data-driven machine learning to accelerate catalyst discovery

  • Materials integration strategies, particularly MOF‑based immobilization for improved catalytic durability and performance
