The research involves the creation of novel advanced fibers for electronic and solar panels applications. • Cooperation with various research groups • Independent organization and implementation of the laboratory • Gained leadership experience through guidance of M.Sc. and Ph.D students

I engaged in different research projects that involved the synthesis, characterization and catalytic evaluation of novel nanomaterials for green chemistry reactions. The most successful results that I achieved are: 50% reduction in catalyst loading // dramatically enhanced the stability, life-span and separation of the catalyst // a redesigned method allowed to reduce the growth time of the material from 24 to 1h // achieved the first heterogeneous catalyst for cyclic biopolymers.

Development of a chemical heat pump for low value heat valorization • Managed the chemical aspects of an initial 12 months project • Main focus on development, study and optimization of a new heat transformer for saving waste heat in industrial plant • Entire process fully developed in less then one year • Worked in close partnership with BASF and the Energy Research Centre of The Netherlands team http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2016/04/qpinch-caloritum-profile-recycling-waste-heat

Synthesis, modification and evaluation of potential new quinonic system for H2O2 production • Development of a new anthraquinones for a better production of hydrogen peroxide, in economics and environmental terms. • Synthesis of new anthraquinones via organic synthesis and heterogeneous catalysis. And by-products synthesis and evaluation in Auto Oxidation Process • Studied and improved the by-products conversion into useful molecule by 100%
