About Me

I am a materials scientist and have always been fascinated by how materials behave. Specifically, I am intrigued by how materials adhere to surfaces (adhesion), respond to microscopic punctures (nanoindentation), and withstand wear and friction (tribology). Basically, I like figuring out what happens when materials get pushed, pulled, or rubbed, and how we can make them work better in the real world.

​

During my PhD, I explored how eco-friendly polymers, polymer composites, and polymer-clay nanocomposites perform when they rub against other surfaces. It was all about improving how tough and reliable these materials are, especially for practical, everyday uses.

​

My first job after that focused on silicon, the stuff that powers most of our electronics. I used nanoindentation to tweak its electrical properties and make it perform even better. It was a cool blend of mechanics and electronics coming together.

​

In my subsequent position, I investigated the behavior of soft, stretchable adhesives on hard surfaces. That research helped make adhesives that are stronger, stickier, and better suited for all kinds of uses - from flexible electronics to everyday products.

​

Later, as an R&D scientist in the medical device field, I looked at how pressure-sensitive adhesives stuck to skin and how well polyurethane pads held up in real healthcare settings. The aim was to make sure these products were not just effective but also safe and comfortable for patients.

​

Along the way, I have published ten first-author research papers and co-authored two others. They discuss things like friction, slipperiness, poking resilience (yes, really!), and sticking power. I have also had the chance to share my work at major science conferences around the world.

​

These days, I am still deeply into science, but now I focus more on writing about it and helping others understand it. Whether it is tough articles, content strategy, or educational projects, I love making complex topics clear and engaging.
