What I'm looking for

I am looking for an R&D or product development role where I can apply vacuum-based deposition and characterization skills to advance energy materials and devices, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and contribute to high-impact publications and commercialization.

I am an MPhil-trained researcher in semiconductor materials and devices with hands-on expertise in vacuum-based thin-film deposition and nanomaterials characterization. I have contributed to multiple high-impact publications (including IF ~5.2) and developed thermoelectric materials achieving ZT=0.95, while currently completing PhD work on Li-based CNT cathodes for LIBs.

I have practical experience operating thermal evaporation and sputtering systems, ALD/CVD, and a broad characterization toolkit (SEM, XRD, Raman, UV-Vis, PL). I seek to apply my skills in product development and innovation through rigorous data analysis, process optimization, and collaborative research in energy materials and device engineering.
