PhD Materials Science | Biointerface & AFM Expert | Adaptive Coatings & Cell-Material Interactions for Biotech & Devices

Profile Summary

PhD in Materials Science & Engineering and specialize in molecular events at cell-material interfaces, focusing on protein adsorption, ligand-receptor interactions, interfacial water layers, and steric effects that regulate cellular adhesion, spreading, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. I employ Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for biointerfacial imaging and single-molecule force spectroscopy (pico-Newton resolution), together with XPS, SEM, XRD, and contact angle analysis, to probe surface forces and molecular dynamics. My fabrication skills include thermal/chemical surface programming, spray pyrolysis, PECVD, and reactive sputtering, with performance validated via ISO 10993 in-vitro assays. As an independent consultant, I have advised over 20 clients on predictive kinetic modeling, biocompatibility assessments, literature reviews, and technical writing. My first-author publications appear in Ceramics International, Crystals, and RSC Advances. I am available for projects in Biotech & Life Sciences, Medical Devices, and Pharmaceuticals, delivering insights into biointerface optimization for regenerative medicine and implantable technologies.
