Science for Everyone

Bringing Science to Life for Everyone – Popularization of Science

Science is not confined to labs and journals—it’s a story of curiosity, discovery, and innovation that belongs to everyone. Through public talks, media collaborations, and educational outreach, I strive to share the wonders of materials science and its potential to transform our world.

Science thrives when knowledge is shared. Through public engagement, educational initiatives, and collaborative projects, I strive to make materials science accessible, inclusive, and impactful for all.
