Dr. Alessandra Menandro

Highly skilled research scientist with extensive expertise in luminescent and ion-conductive polymers, membrane and catalyst layer fabrication, and advanced material characterization techniques. I practice a variety of techniques to obtain insightful data that evidence my research projects including different microscopies, UV-visible, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and more.
​​
Integrity, persistence, and enthusiasm drive not only my career milestones but also my passionate hobbies, ballet and figure skating, where goal-setting and self-discipline deliver unparalleled results.
​
With my curiosity to learn and apply new techniques in a lab as well as in my research approach, I have acquired a unique blend of skills that enable me to have my publications. These skills are continually sharpened through joyful and progressive teamwork. Along with my career development, I have also strengthened my teaching skills by providing necessary assistance and training to my fellow students.
​
All of this has been an inspiring journey that instilled a limitless thirst to pursue my career in materials chemistry. I am committed to applying innovative industrial research and product development expertise to create sustainable solutions and advance technology.
