RESEARCHER PROFILE · KYUSHU UNIVERSITY

Materials Scientist | Postdoctoral Research Associate | Industrial R&D.

I investigate how composition, crystal chemistry, defects and processing determine the structural and functional behaviour of inorganic materials, with an emphasis on oxide systems for energy conversion and electrochemical technologies.

PhD materials scientist

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Kyushu University, Japan, in the I²CNER / MCI-CNRC research environment. I completed my PhD in Science and Engineering of Materials and Devices at Kyushu University in 2026.

My research spans functional oxide ceramics, thermoelectric materials, hydrogen-related electrochemical materials and semiconductor photocatalysis. I combine materials synthesis and powder processing with structural, microstructural and optical characterization, followed by electrical, thermal and electrochemical measurements.

My doctoral work focused on high-temperature thermoelectric oxides, including metal-doped W₁₈O₄₉ and Sn₀.₂₄WO₃ processed by spark plasma sintering. Earlier research investigated semiconductor metal oxides and photocatalytic H₂O₂ production.

Alongside experimental research, I develop Python-based scientific tools for transport-property analysis, semiconductor band alignment and optical band-gap extraction.

SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

Three connected questions.

My work is organised around the relationship between what a material is, how it is processed, and how it performs under operating conditions.

01 · CHEMISTRYHow do substitution, defects and phase stability change the material?
02 · STRUCTUREWhat do diffraction, microscopy and spectroscopy reveal about the material state?
03 · FUNCTIONHow do electronic, thermal and ionic transport respond to those changes?
