Designed, carried out and analysed emulsion and solution polymerizations of BA, VAc, MMA, and styrene for industrial applications. Combined kinetic modelling and experimental data to reduce by-product concentrations without compromising product performance.

Designed, synthesized and characterized styrene-acrylate and vinyl acetate-vinyl ester based dispersions for industrial adhesive and coating applications. Investigated root causes for harmful by-product formation and developed strategies to eliminate them.

Planned and executed synthesis, characterization and process optimization of high-performance polymers (polyether sulfones). Applied advanced polymer characterization to establish structure-property relationships.

Independently carried out polymerization experiments for the synthesis of bio-based polyesters (PEF) as sustainable alternatives to PET. Optimized processes to improve yield and product quality.
