Hello, I'm Tamizi, a Chemist with MSc in Microelectronics. As such, my research lies somewhere around the thin borderline of the two disciplines. My main research interest is the exploration of novel process windows - such as polymerization via photochemistry, inorganic networking via sol-gel science (and a synergistic combination of both) to build sustainable industrial chemistry, with minimal carbon footprints and environmental contamination. I have pursued this so far by working in advanced materials - specifically, sol-gel science for thin-film optics. Please, feel free to contact me for further info.

2000 - 2005

National Photonic Project – Development of An All Optical Network System based on WDM-FTTH Technology
