Montreal, Quebec, Canada

- Led the synthesis of semiconductor device, resulting in an over 100% enhancement of electronic properties compared to previously known values.- Analyzed the composition and structure of the semiconductor using electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray characterization (XRD, XPS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA,DSC).- Measured experimentally the electronic transport properties using Hall measurement technique.- Conducted computational analyses using density functional theory (DFT) to investigate electronic properties and validate them against experimental data.- Presented my master's research to the materials engineering department (100+ attendees), followed by a Q&A session with professors.- Published as the first author in the Journal of Materials Chemistry C, detailing the novel findings.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

- Developed a Python script to program a pipetting robot for the automated selection of dopants and volumes from a pool of 64 options.- Synthesized 64 distinct dopant compositions per robot run, each incorporating three elements, for testing in coin batteries.

Beirut, Lebanon

- Designed models for 3D printing using CAD to support final-year student projects and graduate students.- Manufactured pieces using CNC machining as part of other students’ project.- Operated and maintained SLA and FDM 3D printers, ensuring accurate production and finishing of parts.- Conducted informative seminars to familiarize fellow students with the range of machinery available in the facility.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

- Synthesized poly (hydroxy urethanes) (PHU) using bio-based materials to replace toxic isocyanates in applications like coatings and composites.- Evaluated the chemical and mechanical properties of the polymers using spectroscopy (FTIR, NMR) and thermal analysis (TGA, DSC) suitable applications inaerospace composites and biomedical devices.- Performed rheological analysis to determine mechanical properties such as storage modulus and shear strain, relevant for dynamic engineering environments. - Co-authored a paper published on this topic and presented PHU results with traditional polymers in bi-weekly meetings.
