PhD in Nanocellulose | Electrospinning, Polymer Composites & Biobased Materials

Profile Summary

I am a PhD materials scientist with expertise in nanocellulose, electrospinning, nanofibers, polymer composites, and biobased materials. I have extensive experience in developing polymer and fiber-based systems, optimizing electrospinning processes, and performing advanced materials characterization (e.g., SEM, HIM, Raman, FTIR, DSC, TGA, physical and mechanical testing). I support clients with experimental design, method development, data analysis, characterization workflows, technical reporting, and scientific documentation across fiber-based systems, polymers, and biomaterials. I have worked in international research environments in Germany and Malaysia, and I collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams. I can help with: • Electrospinning process optimization • Nanofiber and polymer composite development • Biobased & sustainable materials • Laboratory protocols, materials characterization & data analysis • Scientific writing, interpretation & technical reporting I deliver clear, reliable, and high-quality scientific support tailored to your project needs.
