I’m a Chartered Chemist (CChem) with the Royal Society of Chemistry, a Registered Scientist (RSci) with the UK Science Council, and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA)—bringing over 10 years of cross-disciplinary R&D experience to the forefront of clean energy innovation.

My expertise lies in designing and engineering smart, responsive nanomaterials that drive the future of renewable energy and sustainable technologies. From solar windows and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to solar-driven hydrogen production and environmental remediation, my work bridges the gap between lab-scale discovery and scalable, real-world applications. Particularly focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of advanced nanomaterials—including oxides, chalcogenides, multi-anion compounds, intermetallics, hydrogels, and functional polymers—to drive innovation in renewable energy technologies.

I provide high-level strategic and operational support across fast-paced consortia—delivering expert calendar coordination, senior-level communications, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven project support. With a sharp eye for detail and a collaborative mindset, I ensure seamless progress on key priorities under tight deadlines.

My research spans the full R&D spectrum—from material synthesis and advanced characterization to system integration and performance evaluation. I work with a wide range of innovative materials, including oxides, chalcogenides, intermetallics, multi-anion compounds, and functional polymers—each engineered for high-impact applications like photovoltaics, photothermal conversion, photocatalysis, agrivoltaics, and passive cooling.

At the core of my work is a commitment to sustainable development, combining deep chemical insight with systems-level thinking to transform emerging concepts into practical, scalable solutions for a cleaner, more energy-efficient world.
