PhD Materials Scientist | Polymer & Recycling Researcher | Scientific Writing & Editing

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-level Materials Scientist with a strong background in polymer science, rubber technology, and sustainable material development, with a strong focus on the recycling of polymers. My research focuses on the structure–property relationships of polymer-based systems, with particular emphasis on recycled rubber (GTR), thermoplastic blends, and the development of bio-based and environmentally friendly additives. I have authored more than 10 first-author publications in peer-reviewed journals, including Q1 and D1-ranked journals, and have extensive experience in experimental polymer processing, compounding, and characterization techniques. My work has involved the modification and recycling of waste rubber materials, compatibility improvement in polymer blends, and the investigation of radiation- and thermally induced structural changes in polymers. In addition to my research activities, I have experience in scientific writing, manuscript preparation, and technical communication in English. I am familiar with the requirements of international journals and can support researchers with copy editing, substantive editing, and improving the clarity, structure, and scientific accuracy of manuscripts.
