Summary
I am a Chemist with a strong background in analytical and organic chemistry, quality control, and research techniques such as HPLC, UV-Vis, and compound synthesis. I hold a Master’s degree in Astrophysics, where I applied data analysis and modeling to study the Martian atmosphere (ExoMars TGO mission). My academic work also includes research on DNA–nanotube systems for nanoscience applications. Skilled in spectroscopy (XPS, IR), thermogravimetric methods (TGA, TPD), and Python-based data analysis, I value precision, safety, and innovation. I am seeking opportunities in laboratory R&D, nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals, or environmental science, eager to contribute to impactful international projects.
