As a postdoctoral researcher in the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) within the Chemistry Department, my work will revolve around investigating catalytically crucial reactions, with a specific focus on the utilization of CO2 and NH3 abatement. The laboratory is equipped with a high-pressure Reactor STM-XPS system that boasts advanced features, including a gas-mixing system, QMS, LEED-Auger, EB-evaporator, and a preparation stage operational at temperatures up to 1000°C.
During my Ph.D. candidacy at NTNU, Norway, my research specialization encompassed atomic layer deposition (ALD) systems, thin film deposition, and the use of various micro and nano fabrication tools. I dedicated my efforts to designing and implementing ALD systems capable of facilitating in-situ studies of ultra-thin films. Furthermore, my work extended to practical applications, including the enhancement of corrosion properties through thin films and the investigation of ultra-thin Copper as a catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
In my Master's research at Masdar Institute (UAE), I focused on the development of metal oxides tailored for solar applications, specifically in the realms of photovoltaic and spectrally selective coatings.
This collective journey has honed my expertise in surface science and catalysis, and I am excited to contribute to the ongoing advancements in these fields.
