Summary

I have a Master's degree in materials chemistry and mineralogy. I am passionate about conducting experiments to gain insights into the atomistic and molecular properties of materials, developing new materials with specific properties, and ensuring they meet the required standards and specifications, collaborating with fellow scientists and engineers to apply findings in practical applications, prioritizing environmentally friendly material creation and processes. In mineralogy, I am passionate about undertaking tests to uncover the compositions and characteristics of mineral samples, assessing the economic value of minerals, investigating their interaction with the environment, and evaluating the effects of mining activities on surrounding communities. My knowledge extends beyond these fields, including experience in laboratory gold assaying and mine wastewater treatment, along with associated testing techniques.
