About


Professional developer of sustainable carbon-based active materials for electrochemical energy storage devices (batteries and supercapacitors). I specialize in waste-derived engineered porous carbons tailored for advanced battery chemistries, including anodes for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, as well as carbon cathodes for lithium–sulfur systems. My work integrates materials synthesis and process optimization with advanced physicochemical characterization and electrochemical evaluation, aiming to deliver scalable, high performance, and circular materials solutions.

My background also includes the development of metal oxide–carbon–conducting polymer hybrid supercapacitors for high-power applications. Additionally, I completed a research exchange at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, contributing to projects in green hydrogen production and carbon capture.

I hold a BatteryMBA certificate, strengthening my understanding of battery manufacturing, industry fundamentals, and commercialization pathways, and I am open to interdisciplinary and international opportunities in energy storage, circular materials, and battery production.
