Collaborated under the guidance of esteemed and authorized supervisors to explore cutting-edge advancements in the field.My journey was more than just academia; it was a transformative experience that honed my ability to work autonomously, manage intricate projects, and master the art of time management. Handling chemical compounds and sophisticated laboratory equipment became second nature, amplifying my skill set in a hands-on environment. What truly sets my journey apart is the intrinsic motivation that fueled self-experimentation, and the drive for continuous self-improvement. Show less
