Research & Design Intern

Joined the Syschemiq project, an EU-funded initiative focused on improving the recyclability of PET and PE packaging. Performed hands-on material characterization to identify polymer contamination and evaluate its effect on recycling outcomes.

PET/PE Recyclability Analysis: A technical investigation into how residual contaminants and bottle design impact the quality of recycled materials. Material Characterization Datasets: Comprehensive experimental results from MFI, TGA, and DSC testing on polymer samples. Design-for-Recycling Roadmap: Actionable recommendations for improving plastic packaging circularity based on Syschemiq initiative guidelines. Mechanical Performance Report: Statistical analysis of tensile and impact testing to validate material durability.
