Sadaf has a PhD in chemistry from the University of St. Andrews where she worked on developing catalysts for bleed air contamination in cabin air. Her expertise lies in solid-state synthesis and analysis of materials. Prior to her PhD, she has done her Bachelor and Mchem with Industrial experience from the University of Bradford. During her industrial experience, she worked in Unicre, the Czech Republic’s largest oil refinery where she studied the behaviour of hydrotalcites as catalysts for aldol condensation of furfural with acetone.
After completing her PhD, Sadaf had worked as an Air Quality Consultant for a year and has joined us a few months ago as a visiting research scholar. Her interests lie in the synthesis and characterisation of materials for wider applications. She is specifically interested in exploring perovskites, solar energy and wearable electronics to add to her existing experience.
