PhD Nanomaterials Scientist | Nanoparticle Characterization (TEM, SEM, XRD, VSM, Raman, FTIR, LS) | Consulting & Writing

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained nanomaterials scientist with over 8 years of research and industrial experience in nanoparticle synthesis, surface engineering, and advanced materials characterization. My expertise spans metal oxide nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄, CuO, ZnO), cellulose nanocrystals, magnetic nanocomposites, and colloidal systems including emulsions and foams. I have contributed to multiple NSF- and USDA-funded research projects focused on CO₂ sequestration, nanoparticle transport in porous media, magnetically controlled emulsions for separation processes, and antimicrobial nanomaterials for environmental and biomedical applications. My work has resulted in 10+ peer-reviewed publications in journals such as ACS Applied Engineering Materials, Energy & Fuels, and Colloids and Surfaces A. I provide specialized consulting and technical support in: Nanoparticle synthesis and surface functionalization Materials characterization and data interpretation (TEM, SEM, XRD, Raman, FTIR, DLS, Zeta potential) Colloids and interfacial systems (emulsions, foams, stability analysis) Scientific writing, editing, and manuscript preparation Data analysis, visualization, and figure preparation In addition to my academic research, I bring 3 years of industrial experience as a chemical engineer in a chlor-alkali plant, with expertise in process operations, control systems, troubleshooting, and scale-up. I have mentored undergraduate and graduate researchers and am experienced in translating complex experimental data into clear, publication-quality results. I am committed to delivering accurate, high-quality work tailored to client needs, whether for research projects, technical reports, or scientific publications.
