I am a chemical engineer with a PMP certification and a passion for sustainable energy solutions and advanced material development. My expertise includes process development, advanced material synthesis, insitu/ex-situ characterizations, reaction testing and AI for materials and processes, particularly in the areas of catalysis, separations, emissions control, and clean energy. I have a proven ability to lead and collaorate within interdisciplinary teams on innovative fundamental and applied research in sustainable energy solutions and clean energy technologies. Beyond research, I am committed to community engagement, mentorship, and making science accessible and meaningful. When I am not conducting research or guiding projects, I enjoy connecting with like-minded professionals, sharing knowledge, and continuously learning.
