FAQs
What type of roles are you seeking after your PhD?
I am seeking industry-focused roles where advanced scientific thinking meets real-world impact. These include positions in process development, materials science, polymer science, sustainable chemicals, energy, and data-driven R&D, particularly in organizations that value innovation, scale-up, and applied research.
How does your PhD research translate to industry value?
My PhD trained me to solve complex, open-ended problems using quantitative analysis, molecular modeling, experimentation, and data-driven decision-making. These skills directly support industry needs such as process optimization, product development, materials characterization, sustainability assessment, and technology scale-up.
Do you have experience beyond academic research?
Yes. Prior to academic research, I have over 7 years experience designing oil and gas facilities including flowstations, crude oil refineries and natural gas processing plants, which enriched process thinking, cross-disciplinary collaboration, project management, and communicating technical results to non-technical stakeholders. My background enables me to operate effectively at the interface of research, engineering, and business objectives.
What makes you different from other PhD candidates?
I combine deep scientific expertise with a strong focus on practical application and impact, my experimental and computational competencies enable me to analyze phenomena holistically. My research is relevant to industry challenges, including sustainability, materials performance, and process efficiency, while also bringing experience in data analysis, modeling, and emerging digital tools.
