What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in research, process optimization, or data-driven laboratory work where I can apply catalyst development, analytical skills, and visualization tools within a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am an MSc graduate in Petroleum Chemistry with hands-on research experience developing and characterizing iron-oxide catalysts doped with cobalt and nickel for oxidative desulfurization of model diesel fuel. I combine laboratory expertise with data analysis, visualization and process optimization tools to drive experimental insight.

My background includes roles as a teaching assistant, production intern at a fertilizer company, and analytical laboratory intern, where I supported laboratory demonstrations, mentoring, quality monitoring and analytical testing. I am proficient in Excel, Power BI, Origin, Design-Expert, MATLAB and SQL, and I translate experimental results into visual reports and predictive models.

I am disciplined, self-motivated and communicative, with experience mentoring undergraduates and teaching secondary-school chemistry and mathematics. I seek opportunities to apply my technical, analytical and experimental skills to contribute to process development, research or data-driven roles in the energy, chemical or industrial sectors.
