R&D Scientist with over a decade experience of formulation, synthesis and chemical analysis of materials

Profile Summary

An experienced R&D scientist with expertise in development and analysis of materials with pharmaceutical and biomedical applications as the main focus. My doctoral and postdoctoral experiences encompass synthesis and development of formulations of enhanced stability, drug entrapping efficiency, and reduced health hazards. Analytical method development has remained as the main aspect of my industry roles as a senior scientist. With hands-on skills in x-ray scattering, calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, particle sizing, chromatography, electrophoresis, IR, UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and mechanical testing, I am also able to handle chemical data associated with a broader range of instrumental techniques. I expect collaborators and clients to contact me for their research projects, data analysis, expert advice, and the production of scientific artworks, presentations, posters, and illustrations.
