THE SCIENTIST & OPERATOR (UK Experience)

My background is technical and practical.

I hold a PhD in Chemistry from Cranfield University (UK). Before teaching, I worked as a Research Scientist at SmartWater Research Limited.

This was a small, fast-moving company. My role was not limited to the lab. I handled operations, negotiated with suppliers, and coordinated with production teams. I learned that in business, communication must be clear, fast, and effective. There is no time for complex grammar when you need to solve a logistical problem.

THE MENTOR (Academic Experience)

Between 2003 and 2005, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Cranfield University.

Here, I discovered my interest in training. I mentored PhD students, helping them operate complex instruments and understand rigorous scientific methods. I learned how to guide intelligent people through difficult learning curves with patience.
