I moved to the Netherlands in 2016 to do my master's in energy and process technology at TU Delft. During my thesis, I worked on amine-based carbon capture (CO2 capture) systems with TNO. My focus here was to understand the growth mechanism of aerosols, which are a major source of solvent (amine) emission.
In 2019, I joined Twence BV in the Netherlands. As a process research engineer, I worked on the development, scale-up, and process optimization of a medium-scale (high-pressure) electrochemical CO2 reduction system. I was responsible for successfully building a high-pressure demonstration unit for the conversion of CO2 to Formic Acid/Formate with more than 100 hours of continuous operation.
In February 2021, I started my PhD at the Photocatalytic Synthesis group (PCS) at the University of Twente. Under the supervision of Dr. M Altomate, I am currently researching the development of nanostructured electrodes for electrochemical purposes through the application of solid-state dewetting. I focus on the effect of catalyst structure, morphology, and composition on the electrocatalytic performance of dewetted Pt nanoparticles for electrochemical HER and ORR.

In 2019, I joined Twence BV in the Netherlands. As a process engineer (research), I worked alongside Coval Energy in the development, scale-up and process optimization of a medium scale (high-pressure) electrochemical CO2 reduction system. A successful high-pressure demonstrative unit was created for converting CO2 to Formic Acid/Formate with 100+ hours of continuous operation.
