The work integrates real-time electrochemical monitoring with high-resolution surface analysis to support pipeline integrity assessments and material reliability in transport infrastructure.

- Improve scientific communication through high-impact publications and conference presentations.
- Gain experience in grant writing and collaborative proposal development.
- Mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
- Deepen knowledge in corrosion science, SECCM, and electrochemical instrumentations.
