What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining research and technical training, in collaborative organizations valuing mentorship, practical impact, and capacity building.

I am an experienced researcher and technical educator with over 10 years mentoring and delivering laboratory instruction in materials science. I translate complex technical concepts into accessible learning materials and workshops for diverse audiences.

My research and teaching span materials characterization techniques such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, DLS, Raman, and photoluminescence, and I routinely mentor students in experimental design, data interpretation, and research methodology.

I have designed SOPs, instructional modules, and blended-learning resources, and I bring practical experience with data tools including Power BI, SPSS, and GraphPad Prism. I have presented findings at international conferences and co-authored peer-reviewed work.

I also lead outreach and capacity-building initiatives, co-founding a youth-focused environmental literacy organization and supporting program design for scientific engagement and training.
