My research interests are investigating the complex properties and behaviors of polymers under various conditions, focusing on their mechanical, thermal and chemical characteristics. I have a background in Materials Science and Engineering and have spent over a decade studying various characterization techniques to improve polymer performance based on their structure-property relationship.
