Babak Rezaei

I am an expert polymer chemist and electrochemist with strong analytical skills and material characterization. Currently, I am working as an Assistant Professor at National Centre for Nano Fabrication and Characterization, DTU Nanolab. I have solid hands on experience in different polymerization techniques, polymer microfabrication techniques (spin coating, spray coating, injection moulding, slot-die coating, Parylene conformal coating, photolithography, etc.), all the additive manufacturing techniques for polymer materials, and wide range of physical, chemical and thermal characterization techniques for polymer materials. During my PhD study, I strengthened my knowledge and skills in electrochemical biosensors, immunosensors, and statistical modelling and optimization of processes. Over the past five years, I have developed and optimized formulations of different specialty polymers to be used as semiconductors for energy harvesting, energy storage (supercapacitors and metal-ion batteries), electrosynthesis, and water treatment applications. Moreover, I served on the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) of the Polymer Microfabrication Centre (PolyFabLab), contributing to strategic decision-making and management oversight. Notably, I led a collaborative effort with Lund University to develope a bio-compatible 3D printed acrylated polymer platform for human brain organoid culter, streamlining culturing processes. Additionally, my hands on experience extends to the fabrication of innovative and sustainable biomass-derived polymer foams, with potential applications in wound-care and muco-adhesive patches for buccal drug delivery. I taught "Polymer Microfabrication" and "Thermodynamics of Polymers" courses, and designed and developed a course called "Surface Chemistry of Polymer Substrates", highlighting my expertise in polymer science. I have supervised several M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, contributed to four patent filings, and published my research achivments extensively, demonstrating my ability to drive innovation and deliver results. Working in a team gives me valuable impact on my cross-functionality experience and provides me the ability to handle active collaborations and friendly dialog. I am independent and creative in finding solutions to scientific challenges, while applying principles to meet deadlines with accuracy in high-pressure environment. I am motivated by collaboration with the main purpose of providing support to colleagues and team success through hard work and brainstorming novel ideas. With hands-on experience in sustainable polymer development and a keen understanding of industrial applications, I am eager to bring my skills to a dynamic industrial environment.
