  As Nano Dimension’s Chief Chemist, I was leading the company's R&D materials department. I led a group of 7 researchers. We worked on the development of nanoparticles and polymer based inks - improvement of existing products and the development of new ones. I took part in the research and development process of Nano Dimension's inks from the R&D stage at the lab, through full research on the influence of the jetting, printing parameters (including sintering and polymerization profiles) and printer on the inks and the final product, to the full implementation in the in-house ink fabrication facility, including the development and release of the inks' QC techniques and procedures.As the lab manager I also had full responsibilities over safety procedures, work protocols, training, chemicals approval and budget management.

• Senior R&D Project Scientist

  • May 2015 - Apr 2018

  As a Senior R&D Project Scientist I was responsible for the synthesis, characterization and development of novel inks based on unique nanoparticles and functionalization of formulations.During my work I've invented and developed several kinds of nanoparticles and inks, which we issued patents for. Among them:- Nano Dimension's novel air-stable, air-sintered Copper Nanoparticles.- Nano Dimension's Ceramic and 'Hybrid Dielectric' inks.- Nano Dimension's unique synthesis for very fine Silver Nanoparticles (4nm)The work of inventing, developing and characterizing new NP and inks is done with the complementary work required for proper inkjet printings and functionality of the final inks: Adjustments of solvents and additives for proper jetting, optimization of the printing conditions (voltage, frequency, etc.), finding the best sintering/polymerization profile, etc. Show less
