An idea that powers me: Developing innovative materials that can reduce environmental impact and promote resource efficiency. Materials are everywhere, from the laptop you are using, to airplanes. I am eager to engage in collaborations with esteemed research institutions, end-users, and public authorities to propel innovation to new heights. By embracing this vision, we not only address one of today’s most urgent challenges but also pave the way for a sustainable future.
