-Lead sensory research to generate in-depth understanding of product performance for Global Shoe Care RD&E-Responsible for new claim idea generation, validation with consumer research, and support claim execution-Work closely with Marketing and Technical Managers to drive product innovation

Developed nanofiltration membranes by modifying ultrafiltration supports with polyelectrolyte multilayer films (PEMs) with controlled film thickness and surface chargeOptimized film properties (surface charge and pore size) for various water purification applications including cation separation, anion separation and removal of humic acids or pesticides Investigated the effect of supporting salt concentration on the surface charge of PEMs using streaming potential measurementsSynthesized noble metal nanoparticles and developed hollow fiber membrane reactors with catalytic nanoparticles immobilized in internal pores

Modified hollow fiber membranes with high surface area to volume ratio using PEMs for removal of divalent cations
