About

I am an Organic Chemist with over ten years of interdisciplinary research experience in Chemical Biology and Photochemistry. I have led and coordinated research projects focused on the design and development of functional organic molecules, including photoresponsive systems and spectroscopic probes for biological applications. My experience includes supervising graduate and undergraduate researchers, mentoring junior scientists, managing laboratory operations, and overseeing advanced analytical instrumentation. I have contributed to peer-reviewed publications, collaborative research initiatives, and conference presentations. My work integrates fundamental organic chemistry with innovative, application-driven research, with an emphasis on scientific rigor, strategic planning, and research excellence.
