About

Chemistry researcher with an MSc in Chemistry (Research & Development), specializing in high-throughput experimentation, catalyst development, and optimization of organic reactions. Experienced in screening cross-coupling transformations such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig, and Ullmann reactions using 24–96 well formats, DoE design, and statistical analysis for process optimization. Skilled in synthesis and characterization of metal-supported and mesoporous catalytic materials, with hands-on experience in FTIR, BET, SEM, TEM, pXRD, UV-Vis, and GC. Passionate about laboratory innovation, method development, and data-driven experimentation. In addition to research, I create and deliver teaching and training content in chemistry, catalysis, and analytical techniques, supporting student development and scientific learning. Currently seeking opportunities in analytical laboratories, chemical R&D, instrumentation support, or training roles where I can apply my technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and passion for advancing scientific capability.
