Polymer Scientist & Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemist with combined 11+ yrs of experience.

Profile Summary

I am a Polymer Scientist and Analytical Chemist with experience in studying polymer structure–property relationships and performing quantitative pharmaceutical analysis. My work spans block copolymer micelles, nanocomposites, thermoplastic elastomers, semicrystalline polymers, carbon fiber composites, topical creams, and oral dosage forms, leveraging advanced analytical instrumentation for analysis. This unique combination of fundamental polymer characterization and GMP HPLC method development for pharmaceutical formulations showcases my versatility in tackling challenges across different fields. I am interested in roles that integrate these strengths, including polymer engineering, nanocomposites, and nanodrug delivery.
