Personal profile
Overview
I have experience with R&D projects within industrial and interdisciplinary partnerships, focusing on bottom-up design chemical approaches, materials characterisation and product performance assessment, executing from idea to final product. Such R&D projects included executing from proof-of-concept to final product (including scale-up) with commercial tire prepregs, water-based wood coatings, thermoset epoxies and lithium-6 enrichment.
My current main areas of interest are nanoparticle functionalisation, lithium enrichment, recovery and waste management.
