I am Akshat Saraf, currently based in Göttingen, Germany. I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Urdu, with professional proficiency in Spanish and limited proficiency in German and Japanese. I hold a PhD in Organometallic Electrochemistry from the University of Göttingen and have a Master's in NanoEngineering from UC San Diego. My experience spans over three years as a Research and Development Engineer at VAJRA INSTRUMENTS, where I focus on electrochemical properties of graphene. Additionally, I have been teaching flow arts and martial arts for over eleven years. My skills include research, experimental design, strategic planning, and public speaking, which I have honed through various roles, including as a Projects Director and Research Coordinator. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge to contribute to advancements in science and education.
