What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my applied chemistry, formulation, laboratory testing, and process optimization experience to industry-relevant product development or sustainable chemical technology work.

I'm currently managing the laboratory department and supporting treatment plants at Vest Energo, where I test water samples to ensure quality for industrial and civil uses.

During my R&D internship at Policolor Orgachim, I contributed to new product development and formulation optimization, conducted laboratory testing, supported production scale-up, and helped ensure regulatory compliance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Applied Chemistry at DTU, focused on industrial chemistry, formulation science, and sustainable chemical technologies. My work with AFM, TEM, and SEM, alongside research in polymer and biomedical applications, has strengthened my interest in practical chemical innovation.
