About Me
I am a motivated and detail-oriented materials scientist with expertise in solution-based semiconducting materials development, thin film fabrication and characterization, and optoelectronics devices characterization. Hands-on experimentalist with excellent problem-solving, experimental design skills and smart un-conventional solution for undefined tasks. Self-starter and team player with strong organizational, interpersonal and oral and written communication skills.
