Mohammed AlhajParamus, NJPhD in Materials Science & Engineering | Sustainable Materials | Former NSF-GRFP Fellow
With a PhD in Materials Science & Engineering specializing in Polymers from Michigan State University and a B.S. with High Honors in Materials Science and Engineering from Rutgers University, I have a comprehensive understanding of chemical principles and applications.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have gained hands-on experience in various aspects of chemistry, including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and polymer chemistry. I have conducted research, performed laboratory experiments, and analyzed chemical reactions, equipping me with practical knowledge that I can share with students.
My work experience at Becton Dickinson (BD) and other organizations has further enhanced my expertise in chemistry. I have applied chemical principles to materials analysis, product development, quality control, and sustainability initiatives. I am familiar with laboratory techniques, instrumentation, safety protocols, and data interpretation methods commonly used in chemistry-related fields.
Additionally, I have a passion for teaching and mentoring students in chemistry. I can explain complex concepts in a clear and engaging manner, tailor lessons to meet individual learning styles, and provide hands-on activities to reinforce learning. Whether it's explaining chemical bonding, reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, or thermodynamics, I strive to make chemistry accessible and enjoyable for students.
Furthermore, I stay updated with current developments and advancements in chemistry through continuous learning and engagement with scientific literature. I can incorporate real-world examples, case studies, and applications of chemistry in industry and research to provide a holistic learning experience for students.
