Conducting a cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Assessment of a novel bio-based polymer as part of my M.Sc. thesis, "Technology Choice and Diffusion of Bio-Based Innovations in Industrial Processes." • Building the Life Cycle Inventory and modeling fermentation, separation, and polymerization processes in OpenLCA with Ecoinvent data • Conducting Life Cycle Impact Assessment to compare environmental performance and energy demand of bio-based vs. fossil-based polymer systems • Assessing results across regional pro

Supervised daily production of HDPE, LDPE, and PP blown films in a flexible packaging manufacturing environment. • Monitored and optimized process throughput while maintaining consistent product quality • Troubleshot process deviations on the production line, working with maintenance teams to restore and improve performance • Contributed to the commissioning of a five-layer blown film extrusion line as part of an interdisciplinary team • Supported development of new materials, including HDPE-based film

Rotational training across production, quality control, and process support functions.
