I am currently a collaborative researcher at Institute for Tropical Technology (VITTEP), Vietnam and a key member of Sustainable Process Engineering Group (SPE). I am also a final-year PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering and actively seeking a postdoctoral position in biomedical engineering.  

My recent research focuses on the engineering of polymer-based materials, including hydrogels, nanoparticles, and nanofibrous membranes, for the controlled and stimuli-responsive delivery of natural bioactive compounds in wound healing, anti-inflammatory therapy, food preservation, and cosmetic applications. In addition, I have strong expertise in the isolation, physicochemical characterization, and biological evaluation of plant-derived extracts, as well as in advanced materials characterization to study structure-property-function relationships. In parallel, I have developed waste-upcycling strategies to convert agricultural and industrial residues into high-value engineering materials for thermal and acoustic insulation, and environmental remediation. 

Through a postdoctoral appointment, I intend to further advance translational biomaterial platforms that bridge sustainable material design with therapeutic applications.
