About me
I am a dynamic and results-driven researcher who has over five years of experience in renewable energy, sustainability, and waste-to-energy technologies. Expertise in hydrothermal carbonization, biomass valorization, and material characterization for clean energy applications. Supported by a strong publication record and demonstrated project management abilities, I have shown leadership in overseeing interdisciplinary research teams and extensive experimental operations.
