I Help R&D Teams Interpret SEM/TEM/EDS Data & Characterize Nanomaterials | PhD Weizmann

Profile Summary

I am an experimental materials scientist with 12+ years of hands-on expertise spanning nanocrystal synthesis, metal-organic framework (MOF) crystallisation, and advanced electron microscopy — SEM, TEM/STEM, EDS, and EBSD. I hold a PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) and have published in JACS, Advanced Materials, and Chemistry of Materials (corresponding author), with a ChemRxiv manuscript currently under revision. I work with startups and industry R&D teams who need a senior scientific expert — not a generalist — to solve specific, high-stakes problems fast. What I can do for you: — Interpret and report on SEM, TEM/STEM, EDS, and EBSD datasets, including microstructural analysis, phase mapping, elemental distribution, and structure–property correlations — Provide expert consultation on nanocrystal and MOF synthesis workflows, troubleshooting, and materials design — Edit and strengthen manuscripts for submission to high-impact journals (Nature family, ACS, Wiley, Elsevier) — from clarity and structure to technical accuracy — Support grant proposal writing and reviewing, including ERC, MSCA, and Horizon Europe applications, with direct experience drafting a full ERC Starting Grant proposal — Produce publication-quality scientific illustrations and figures using Adobe Illustrator and OriginPro My clients get precise, publication-ready work delivered on time. I bring the same rigour to freelance projects that I apply in peer-reviewed research. Techniques: SEM · TEM/STEM · HAADF · EDS/EDX · EBSD · PXRD · UV-Vis · FTIR · Transient Absorption Spectroscopy · Adobe Illustrator · OriginPro Materials expertise: Colloidal nanocrystals · ITO · MoS₂ · WS₂ nanotubes · Metal-organic frameworks · Hybrid nanomaterials · Thin films H-index: 8 · Citations: 436 · ORCID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
