Profile Summary

At the moment, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Technological University of the Shannon, Ireland, investigating new polymers and composites for certain industrial applications. This includes advanced polymers and composites for various industries including but not limited to medical devices, slow-release fertilizers, environmental remediation, cryogenic polymers, advanced chemical and mechanical recycling techniques, development of new green monomers and polymers, etc. Before this and during my PhD studies, I was working on sulfur-based polymers as a new class of sustainable and green polymers (using both petroleum-based and green monomers). These polymers are subject to functionalization to be used in different applications such as selective ion-exchange adsorbents for waste-water treatment and slow-release fertilizers. We have also reported two different methods to optimize the reaction parameters of inverse vulcanization for the very first time. I have also experience in teaching "Polymer Process Engineering" and "Physical Chemistry" for several semesters. Furthermore, I have so far made several novel polymers using green resources like vegetable oils as a replacement for conventional petroleum-based polymers in many applications. I have studied my MSc degree in 'chemical engineering - polymer engineering’ focusing on polymeric blends and composites (PA6, TPUs, and graphene oxide). I also have experience as a consultant in a plastic production company that produces plastic containers and packaging using mainly PP and PE as the raw materials. I have experience with different polymer processing and characterization techniques such as extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, compression molding, hand lay-up, mechanical testing, rheology, DSC, TGA, FTIR, Raman, NMR, XRD, GPC, UV-Vis, SEM, TEM, elemental analysis, and also optimization and prediction techniques such as artificial neural networks and response surface methodology. I have so far published tens of research papers in world-class journals as either the first- or a co-author and I am a two-time publication excellence award.
