Materials Analyst & Characterization Specialist | Expert in Metallic, Ceramic, Polymeric and Composite Materials Testing

Profile Summary

Materials Scientist and Analytical Expert with an MSc in Materials Science, specializing in the advanced characterization and data-driven analysis of diverse material systems. My postgraduate research focused on the design, synthesis, and multi-technique evaluation of functional materials, providing me with a profound understanding of structure-property relationships across metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite materials. My core expertise lies in processing, interpreting, and extracting meaningful insights from a comprehensive suite of analytical techniques, including: Thermal Analysis: TGA, DSC. Spectroscopic Analysis: FTIR, UV-Vis. Microstructural & Morphological Analysis: SEM, EDS. Functional Performance Testing: Drug release kinetics, chemical stability assays. I am proficient in managing the entire data lifecycle—from experimental design and raw data collection to statistical analysis and clear, conclusive reporting. I am seeking freelance and project-based opportunities to leverage my multidisciplinary background in chemical technology, materials engineering, and advanced research to solve complex materials challenges in R&D, quality control, and product development.
