Biography

I am a materials scientist and mechanical engineer focused on polymer nanocomposites, advanced coatings, and additive manufacturing. Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Université du Québec, I study how processing and microstructure govern mechanical, thermal, and surface performance in 3D-printed and cast polymers. My work blends rigorous experimentation (DSC, DMA, SAXS/WAXS, SEM) with multiphysics simulation (FEM/CFD) to design tougher, lighter, and more durable materials. I specialize in TPU, HDPE, PCL, PLA, and BioPET systems reinforced with carbon nanomaterials (graphene, CNTs, GQDs/CQDs). Application areas include anti-icing and antimicrobial coatings, smart packaging with improved barrier behavior, and industry-grade inspection and quality control. I also lead data-driven projects on water activity and drying in food production, and on intelligent, multi-sensor inspection of high-voltage components. Across academic and industrial collaborations, I’ve delivered validated prototypes, process models, and decision tools grounded in real-world constraints. My broader goal is to translate lab insights into scalable, sustainable solutions for aerospace, energy, and packaging. I welcome collaboration on polymer design, surface engineering, and AI-assisted materials characterization.
