Profile Summary

I am an electrochemist and materials chemist with PhD-level expertise, postdoctoral research experience, and experience as a group leader. My work focuses on electrocatalysis, surface analysis, catalyst characterization, electrochemical interfaces, porous electrodes, and nanomaterials, including ORR, HER, and OER systems. I have strong expertise in XPS data interpretation, electrochemical data analysis, experimental design, scientific writing, manuscript revision, figure preparation, and technical reporting. In addition to my academic research background, I also bring Master’s-level training and previous industry experience, which help me connect fundamental scientific understanding with practical problem solving. I can support clients with research consulting, literature reviews, data interpretation, proposal preparation, manuscript improvement, and technical reports in electrochemistry, catalysis, materials chemistry, and surface science.
