PhD Researcher in PEC-PV, photoreforming & Green Hydrogen | Expert in water treatment and Waste Valorization ​

Profile Summary

I am a PhD researcher specializing in photocatalysis, water treatment, and renewable energy. My work focuses on designing novel heterojunction photocatalysts for photoreforming plastic waste and wastewater into green hydrogen, combining energy production with environmental remediation. I have a strong background in experimental research, data analysis, and scientific writing. My expertise includes catalyst synthesis, characterization techniques (XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV-Vis, PL), photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, and mechanism studies. I also have experience in density functional theory (DFT) calculations to support experimental findings. I offer professional services in research support, technical and scientific writing (manuscripts, reviews, proposals, and reports), literature analysis, and consulting in the fields of chemistry, renewable energy, and materials science. With ongoing publications and active research in waste-to-energy systems, I can help clients produce scientifically sound, clearly written, and impactful work.
