PhD Specialist in Cellulose Nanocrystals and Structural Color | 7 Years of Experience in Liquid Crystals & Self-Assembly

Profile Summary

I’m a researcher with a PhD focused on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and structurally colored materials. My background combines several years of hands-on experimental work in nanomaterials and photonics with a strong foundation in data analysis, microscopy, and scientific visualization. Alongside my research, I have experience supervising and supporting scientific projects. I'm here to help you plan experiments, analyze results, and communicate your findings effectively. I excel at detail and take pride in clear, structured writing, whether preparing publications, presentations, or polished reports. I'd be happy to just chat about your project, no compromise needed!
