About

I am a Senior Scientist with over 15 years of international experience in organic chemistry, specializing in the design, synthesis, and modification of molecules derived from sustainable biomass for materials science and biomedical applications . I hold a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry from Humboldt University of Berlin, where I developed expertise in isolating, synthesizing, and characterizing complex organic molecules.

At Norse Biotech in Norway, I lead research focused on translating molecular innovation into practical, sustainable solutions. My work integrates green chemistry and sustainable development principles to create materials that enhance patient outcomes while minimizing environmental impact.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams across Europe and Africa, bridging academic research and industrial innovation. I bring strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.
