• Postdoctoral Researcher

  • Jan 2019 - Feb 2020

  • Utilised electrochemical impedance-based sensing technology to develop portable point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic platforms.• Identified commercial opportunities including brainstorming ideas for generating research income.• Maintained strong stakeholder relationships, influenced decisions and ensured effective communication through all project stages. • Successfully engineered bioelectronic interfaces using interfacial chemistry and protein chemistry.• Developed new concepts of using in situ electrochemical measurements in Surface Plasma Resonance (SPR) to study the binding events of proteins that have been developed. • Aligned activities to established business processes, protocols and quality standards.• Represented the research group at external meetings and seminars.• Prepared of scientific reports and journal articles reviews.

• Postdoctoral Researcher

  • Jan 2018 - Dec 2018

  • Worked with Prof. Fraser Armstrong, FRS at Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Dept. of Chemistry and brought together enzymology, catalysis and electronics.• Supervisory responsibility for2 undergraduate and graduate student projects.• Successfully led research activities that resulted in a breakthrough in the form of EIS being used for the first time to determine the unique electrocatalytic exchange rate. This a parameter of great significance in reversible electrocatalysis. • Prepared research for academic publications and several successful grant applications.• Recognised for performance and awarded a Science and Education Research Board Overseas Postdoctoral fellowship to translate a new idea of using impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to study enzyme-based processes.• Maintained excellent relationships with colleagues at all levels to facilitate quality work, effectiveness and efficiency.



EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne)

• Switzerland

• Scientist

  • Oct 2016 - Jul 2017

  • Worked with BMW and developed expertise on an in-situ liquid electrochemical transmission electron microscopy that supported the development of active cathode and anode materials for Li ion battery (electric vehicle). • Enabled the opportunity to monitor the dynamic processes and structural evolution of electrode materials and their interactions with battery-relevant electrolytes during operation with both spatial and temporal resolution. • Updated stakeholders regarding technical achievements, reporting and project progress. • Reviewed deliverables to ensure schedules were maintained, while meeting with quality standards, endorsing changes to plans where applicable.
