What I'm looking for

I seek R&D roles developing scalable membrane and porous-material solutions in collaborative teams that value innovation, translational impact, and opportunities for mentoring and publication.

I am a postdoctoral researcher specializing in synthesis and functionalization of MOFs, COFs and 2D materials for membranes, gas and ion separations, and catalytic applications, with extensive experience in thin-film and ultrathin membrane fabrication and permeation testing.

I have led large-area membrane synthesis projects, supervised postgraduate students, and authored numerous peer-reviewed publications demonstrating advances in selective adsorption, sensing, and scalable membrane processes; I thrive in collaborative, interdisciplinary research environments and bring a hands-on, results-driven approach.
