What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on materials R&D role in nanomaterials, optoelectronics, and solar cells—where I can combine advanced characterization with COMSOL modelling, drive innovative synthesis/processing, and collaborate on translational impact.

I’m a materials science professional with four years of research experience across nanomaterials synthesis, optoelectronic device fabrication, and experimental characterisation. I’m driven by a genuine curiosity to understand and control how light interacts with matter at the nanoscale, sitting at the intersection of physics and materials science.
