BIOGRAPHY:Â
Skilled and dedicated material chemist with more than 6 years of research experience (above 3 years post-Ph.D. and nearly 3 years pre-Ph.D. industrial experience) for synthesis of small organic molecules and polymers (both the conducting and non-conducting), formulation of polymer (e.g., rubber, thermoplastics, waste biomaterials, etc.) composites with metal nanoparticles and or 2D-materials (e.g., graphene, MoS2, WS2, etc.), preparation of polymer foams & electrospun mats, synthesis of inorganic oxides/sulfides, etc. for different applications ranging e.g. medicines, sensors, water purification, photovoltaic, piezo-/tribo-/pyro-electrics, thermoelectric, artificial skin and automotive parts, and related device fabrication.
• Performed as a mentor for the Ph.D. and Master students and taught different experimental techniques for undergraduate students in Korea.
• Being collaborative and open-minded worked with many researchers of different research interest belonging from different institutes and countries where the scientific knowledge, synthesis expertise, writing skill have been afforded to the best of my performance.
• Prefer to take the challenges towards performing any chemical reaction to be high-yield, facile, less-hazardous and time-resolved.
• Expertize towards developing different ink materials to be used for device fabrication as well as 3D printing.
• Always prefer to share & exchange knowledge, learn new concepts, and train the newcomers.
• Willing to perform basic tasks and move onto solve complex problems.
• Well-organized and passionate, able to learn new knowledge and adapt to new environments quickly, excellent communication (written/verbal) and reporting skills (authored 20+ peer-reviewed articles and briefed different conference presentations).
• Learning polymer 3D-printing (especially FDM- and SLA-based) and developing the polymer-based 3D printable ink (e.g., bio-ink), learning different softwares (e.g., J-octa, python, etc.)
