PhD in Polymers & Composites | Expert in Vitrimers & Thermosets, Thermal-Mechanical Characterization, Process Modelling

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified scientist in polymers and composites with deep expertise in vitrimers, thermosets, and high-performance composite materials. My research spans advanced thermal and mechanical characterisation (DSC, TGA, DMA, ILSS, DCB, tensile, compressive, and flexural tests), cure kinetics modelling, process simulation, and optimisation — with applications in aerospace, chemicals, and academic research. I have contributed to international, multidisciplinary projects, including the EU-funded PLEIADES project, where my published work formed the basis for a next-generation vitrimeric resin for sustainable aircraft composite manufacturing. I am currently contributing to a European project focused on establishing vitrimer composites as high-performance materials for space and aerostructures. I am highly experienced in preparing and reviewing scientific manuscripts, interpreting experimental data, and providing technical consulting on polymer systems. Whether you require expert-level data analysis, scientific editing, or support with composite process design, I deliver technically sound, timely, and research-driven solutions tailored to your specific goals.
