I am a chemist by education, trained by physicists, and worked as a materials scientist with an engineering mindset. I combine expertise in nanoparticle synthesis, nanotechnology, photonics, optics, various characterization techniques, device fabrication, interface engineering, and measurement setup building.

I am a postdoctoral researcher currently working on the development of perovskite solar cells in the laboratory of Nobel laureate Prof. Moungi G. Bawendi at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I have obtained my doctoral degree with Prof. Maksym V. Kovalenko at ETH Zurich and Dr. Ivan Shorubalko at Empa research institute where I worked on graphene, colloidal quantum dots, infrared detectors, and the miniaturization of optical spectrometers.
