About
Assistant Professor with a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry, specializing in the design, synthesis, and functionalization of advanced inorganic/organic nanomaterials for biomedical and chemical applications. My research integrates inorganic-based platforms, biopolymers, and nanocomposites alongside studies about innovative fabrication approaches such as microfluidics and computational optimization, leading to applications in drug and gene delivery, tissue engineering, and (bio)sensing. I have held postdoctoral positions in South Korea, building a strong record of high-impact publications in prestigious journals such as Coordination Chemistry Reviews (IF 23.5), Advanced Functional Materials (IF 19.0), Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials (IF 21.8), Journal of Hazardous Materials (IF 11.3), and Advanced Science (IF 14.1). My work combines state-of-the-art synthesis and characterization with biological validation, supported by collaborations across the UK, Canada, Italy, France, the USA, Japan, Spain, South Korea, and Australia. I have extensive experience mentoring undergraduate and graduate researchers, leading multi-partner projects, and contributing to grant applications. Skilled in 2D cell culture, cytotoxicity assays, and cell imaging, as well as 3D modeling using Rhino and KeyShot. Recognized for strong scientific communication, I actively serve as a peer reviewer for leading journals and present regularly at international conferences.
