Profile
I am an Engineering PhD student who joined the University of Leicester in January 2026. My research in experimental materials science focuses on the surface modification of carbon-based materials. My daily work encompasses the complete experimental pipeline: from the preparation and processing of materials to their characterization and property evaluation. I am passionate about understanding how micro-level surface, subsurface, and interface engineering can alter macroscopic material properties for advanced applications.
