A passionate and committed senior lecturer with a Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry, I possess a keen interest in Material Science, particularly focusing on the development and implementation of polymer electrolytes in innovative technologies like dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and supercapacitors. I have authored a significant article titled 'From Crab Shell to Solar Cell: A Gel Polymer Electrolyte Based on N-Phthaloylchitosan and Its Application in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells,' showcasing my expertise in the field. Additionally, I am deeply interested in the field of waste management, particularly exploring sustainable solutions for recycling and waste reduction. Drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom of Jabir Ibn-Hayan, renowned as 'The Chemist,' I firmly uphold the value of practical work and experimentation as the cornerstone for attaining mastery in chemistry.
