Chemist, Chemical Engineer, Materials Scientist
Hello
I am a final year PhD candidate in Materials Science and Engineering, with a year of experience in inhaler formulation development, looking for roles in engineering consultancy on product/process development. As a materials scientist, I am captivated by transformative technologies that have the potential to revolutionize industries. However, the critical evaluation and alignment of these technologies with current and future market needs require consultants with a technical background. Leveraging my multidisciplinary experience, I am well-equipped to navigate the intersection of cutting-edge innovations and practical market applications.
​
With a diverse background encompassing both multinational corporations and small companies, I bring forth a wealth of experience in technology innovation, design thinking, and product/process development. My expertise is geared towards empowering your company to excel and anticipate upcoming technology trends. Recognized as one of the 100 Leaders of Tomorrow in Biotechnology at GapSummit 2022 and a participant in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship certificate program at OneLeague x Stanford Online, my journey is a fusion of scientific expertise and a profound understanding of the business side of innovation.
In both my MSc and PhD projects, I have designed a biopolymer-based controlled-release system for agrochemicals via coaxial direct ink writing and developed non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors. Currently, my PhD project focuses on green machining to revolutionize the mold-free fabrication of advanced ceramics. I have studied and researched the processing technologies of the 21st century, and eager to assist your company in recognizing and evaluating technology trends, subsequently guiding the development of a change management strategy.​
