R&D Organic Chemist to provide scientific impact, consultancy, and laboratory solutions in academia and industry

Profile Summary

I am an innovative and results-driven organic chemist with expertise in formulation chemistry, synthetic chemistry, natural product, green synthesis, medicinal chemistry, polymer science, material science and analytical methods. As part of ASHHI Chem Innoscience, I focus on developing sustainable, high-performance formulations for diverse applications such as drug discovery, medicines, and pharmaceutical products. My work bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world utility — from plant-based material, developing chemical methodologies and graphene-based coatings to biodegradable hydrogels. I’m also engaged in developing rapid, HPLC, GCMS, LCMS, Biotage methods and advanced analytical methods such as NMR. UV, IR, Atomic Absorption, etc. I collaborate with startups, R&D companies, and academic partners to translate scientific ideas into scalable, market-ready solutions.
