Mahmoud M. Shaban

I am a chemist with over 12 years of experience specializing in the synthesis, functionalization, and characterization of surfactants, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and polymers. I possess extensive expertise in various polymerization techniques, including free-radical and continuous-flow polymerization. My leadership skills have grown through managing laboratories, mentoring students, and training technicians. I am highly motivated to make the transition into a career in the material industry. My technical expertise and strong interpersonal skills, combined with my personal interest, enable me to bring innovative materials from research to market. I have extensive experience in:

• Problem-solving and product development
• Presenting data in professional meetings and rapidly adapting to new concepts
• Mentoring colleagues using effective leadership skills
• Leading collaborations and cultivating strong relationships between research and industry
