Researcher and analyst with expertise in the use of nanomaterials in the hydrogen economy.
I am a research chemist and a consultant with a vast experience in the synthesis, characterization
and catalytic application of nanoparticles and solid state materials, particularly for green energy provision. During my academic career, I conducted research on various chemical
hydrogen storage materials, including boron hydrides, ammonia, and methanol. I have also been interested in applied aspects of most projects that I worked on and have gained some experience in entrepreneurship, technology commercialisation and start-ups. My career has been working at the interface of academia and industry to deliver measurable changes in the real world. I like to participate in innovative and beneficial projects
to accelerate carbon net-zero transition for the mitigation of global warming.
