Newly graduated Chemical Engineer offering exceptional communication and analytical skills with proficiency in material science and electrochemical energy storage systems. Acquired a solid understanding of various chemical experiments and projects. Expertise in working with electrochemical and structural characterization techniques, including Raman spectroscopy. An effective team member with the ability to inspire others to achieve optimal production outputs while upholding high integrity standards. Resourceful and a detailed oriented individual capable of thriving in dynamic and fast-paced environments. Methodical and poised to enhance the company's reputation through commitment and creativity.

• Master thesis: Investigating self-discharge in a graphite dual-ion cell using in-situ Raman spectroscopy, In my master's thesis, I examined the self-discharge characteristics of anion-intercalated graphite electrodes in highly concentrated electrolyte systems using ex-situ and in-situ Raman spectroscopy. I completed the degree project at Uppsala university's structural chemistry institute, which focuses on advanced materials for electrochemical energy storage.
• High-pressure connector for microfluidics chips, In a group of three students, we investigated the efficacy of epoxy glue as a world-to-chip interface for microfluidic chips. As a team member, I planned and executed the fabrication of microfluidic chips and coordinated the assembly procedure.
• Material and sustainable development: Life cycle analysis of facade materials: concrete and glass, In a group of six students, we carried out Life cycle analyses of two facade materials: plaster and glass, in which we evaluated their environmental impact during their extraction, processing, manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal.
• Literature review of (low-modulus) injectable PMMA-based biomaterials for vertebroplasty, Being the team leader, I guided the project's planning, management, and reporting to ensure its completion on schedule.
• Bachelor thesis: The thermal insulating effects of Quartzene on painting systems, In a group of five students, we investigated the efficacy of Quartzene in enhancing the thermal properties of painting systems. I designed and operated the experiment section of the project and oversaw its reporting to reach the project's objectives. The degree project was part of a collaboration between Uppsala university and Svenska Aerogel Holding AB, a company that produces insulation materials.
• The study of photoluminescence quenching of MAPI perovskite on Titanium tetra chloride treated Titanium dioxide substrate, In my role as project leader, I spearheaded the planning, execution, and reporting of the project.
