• Fabricated sustainable nanoparticles-enabled electrodes, utilizing conducting polymers and metal catalysts for electrochemical removal of NOx contaminants, as well as electrochemical sensing applications.• Developed flexible nanocomposite sensors for real-time monitoring of contaminants, such as dopamine, in aqueous solutions. • Characterized as-prepared electrodes using surface analysis techniques, electrochemical methods, and mechanical testing to identify defects and test durability and stability. • Managed and maintained lab instruments, such as Metrohm Autolab Potentiostat. Performed repairs on the instrument as needed to ensure proper operation.

Drafted coursework and assisted in conducting experiments for classes as the lead teaching assistant. Held office hours and graded homework on a weekly basis.

• Successfully wrote an NSF proposal and secured a $27,000 funding grant. Researched the market potential of electrochemical treatment and emerging market trends as part of M&A team. • Conducted extensive voice of the customer interviews with VPs and CTOs of 30 firms to obtain a deeper understanding of their technology and process.

• Investigated different ways to improve the energy density of metal-air batteries using earth-abundant materials, such as silicon and germanium to fabricate the anode of the battery.• Developed an all polymer solid electrolyte to increase the cycle life of the battery and ensure better safety as compared to conventional Li-Ion batteries.
