Summary

Experienced Materials Scientist with a PhD in Materials Science, specializing in nanomaterials for sensors and supercapacitors. My expertise in nanomaterial synthesis, electrochemical performance optimization, and charge retention is directly relevant to advanced materials used in solid-state drives (SSDs). While my research has primarily focused on energy storage and sensing technologies, the material properties I’ve worked with—such as enhanced conductivity, durability, and energy efficiency—are critical in the SSD industry. I am now seeking to transition into SSD manufacturing, bringing my advanced material science background to optimize next-generation storage solutions.
