About me

I am an aspiring Scientific Research in the field of Chemistry & Materials Science. Currently working in a Organic Chemistry laboratory where I have had most of my experience, I am developing tools to improve my chemistry craft, all while trying to develop sustainable solutions for renewable energy production, that is clean, safe and cost-effective.

My research

I am currently working on developing functional organic materials that serve as primary components in photovoltaic technologies. I am working on Perovskite Solar Cells which is a new and emerging solar cell technology that aims to substitute convetional Si cells with a cheap, highly performing and more sustainable alternative. I am not only synthesising the component, but also working on improving the processability and "Greeness" of the device.
