About
I hold a PhD in Surface Physics, dual master’s degree in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and a Bachelor’s in Physics. I currently work as a scientist on catalytic applications of organic materials.
Additionally, I supervise and train bachelor’s and master’s students during their thesis work. I also work with students one-on-one as their tutor for some of their physics lectures.
Apart from my primary work, I love physics, especially astrophysics, and keep finding ways to involve myself in the latest research. From studying courses to visiting dark sky reserves to make my own observations, I do it all!
