A. Personal Statement
I am an early-career researcher interested in harnessing the inherent properties available in agro-wastes for the development of composites and carbon nanotube materials. My research is geared towards developing novel materials using agro-wastes and polymers for different target applications. As an enthusiast of process optimization, I use the Taguchi method and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) to determine the optimal parametric setting of different engineering processes to evaluate product performance and system operations. This serves as a precursor as I delve into the world of Materials Informatics (MI) to make materials discovery, design, development, and deployment faster and more accessible.
