Summary

Ambitious, resourceful and adaptable researcher seeking to deepen knowledge of how fluorescent organic molecule self-assemble to form supramolecular aggregates. My aim is to explore the supramolecular assemblies for molecular recognition of biologically relevant analytes such as amino acid, metal ions and anions. Organized and dependable candidate with extensive experience in developing efficient diagnostic kits for biomolecule detection (such as cholesterol) that are cost effective, easy to handle and help in detecting potential environmental hazards. Detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.
