Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands
I am materials and regulatory professional with a background in condensed matter physics and physical chemistry, experienced in translating fundamental science into practical, compliant, and sustainable solutions. I bring a structured, analytical approach and a strong appreciation for data integrity, traceability, and system-level thinking. I have worked with polymeric materials across industries, including polyurethane coatings, functional surfactants, and bio-based composites, gaining hands-on experience in material and product development, scale-up, regulatory compliance, and sustainability. This experience has equipped me with the ability to bridge academic research and practical application, turning innovative concepts into real-world, industry-ready solutions. Originally a researcher, I now focus on Compliance, Quality Assurance, and Project Management, building systems that ensure safe, reliable, and market-ready materials and processes. In a meantime developing artisan beauty brand RCOOM.
