I joined USW in July 2021. I previously worked as a Research Fellow at Coventry University and an engineer at a semiconductor device manufacturer, where I gained my initial experience in IP and technology commercialisation.

I defended my PhD thesis at Coventry University in March 2020 on the topic “Selective electroless copper deposition by applying a gradient magnetic field”. I also have an MRes degree from Nottingham Trent University in Advanced Materials Engineering and an Engineering degree from Mendeleyev University of Chemical Technology of Russia.
