As a highly trained, educated professional researcher in polymer science and technology who has around 7-year experience in the synthesis and characterization of a wide range of monomers and polymeric products, I have valuable experience and expertise in organic chemistry- and polymer chemistry-related projects. As a polymer scientist, I have excellent networking and communication skills and I am able to learn and grow fast.
To satisfy the aforementioned abilities/capabilities, as part of my roles at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Melbourne, I gained significant experiences in working with different instruments including NMR, SEC, MALDI-ToF, LS, MALS, DLS, UV-Vis, FTIR, GC, HPLC, XRD, XPS, imaging microscopy, etc. Furthermore, I have experience in the synthesis of different hydrophilic, hydrophilic, and amphiphilic polymers via the ATRP and RAFT polymerization techniques. I became an expert in the fabrication of ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polymers with excellent mechanical properties. Participating as a researcher in different projects enables me to learn valuable skills in teamwork, with a track record of collaborations with many research groups in Japan, Germany, Australia, the UK, and France. I am totally familiar with different instruments and also different software for data analysis. As a dedicated, innovative, and flexible scientist who pays special attention to details, I am able to keep the time and budget of projects under control.
