Six stops across Pakistan, France and the Netherlands, learning how to build climate solutions, make them financially viable, and prove their impact through carbon and ESG data.

Where the materials foundation was built: how structure, morphology and chemistry decide what a material can do.
Final-year research: improving supercapacitor performance
- Composited Ni–Co–Mn metal–organic frameworks with polyaniline (PANI) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for energy-storage electrodes.
- Characterized them with XRD, SEM, EDS, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge and impedance spectroscopy.
- Explored how electrode structure and morphology drive electrochemical behaviour.
Masters, Grenoble INP-Pagora
A move to France and into biobased materials: turning renewable fibres and biorefinery products into useful materials.
The thesis for this degree is the next stop: six months with Cellulose Valley.
Intern, Cellulose Valley × Chanel
A six-month proof of concept: could cellulose-based pastes be 3D printed into luxury packaging?
- Developed a printability score (4–20) to compare formulations on equal terms.
- Tested 11 ink/nozzle combinations to set extrusion force limits, and designed a shape-monitoring test across 10 formulations.
- Ran formulation development, rheological and structural characterization, delivered the prototype and presented the results.
Inside the Fondation Grenoble INP packaging initiative, with eight industrial partners
Decarbonization Ventures Analyst, Planetive
From the lab to the business case: can agricultural residues become climate solutions that pay?
- Analysed agricultural-residue data for biochar and biogas R&D.
- Researched carbon-market mechanisms and carbon-credit potential.
- Co-wrote a techno-economic feasibility report as part of a 10-person team.
Climate Fellow, Climatebase Fellowship
Putting materials and markets side by side: is a compostable plate actually better, and who in the EU would buy it?
- Researched EU market demand for compostable areca-leaf plates in an international team of four.
- Compared them with plastic and paper disposables on carbon footprint, compostability and sourcing.
Sustainability Analyst (freelance)
Based in the Netherlands since July 2026, working where materials knowledge meets ESG reporting, carbon accounting and decarbonisation.
- Learning Dutch and studying EU sustainability regulation and compliance.
- Building portfolio work on CSRD, ESRS, IFRS S2 and AI agents with guardrails.
