PROFILE

Working as a research assistant broadened my skills in organic chemistry, polymer synthesis, characterization techniques such as X-Ray diffraction (XRD), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-vis spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR-spectroscopy, and others. I also improved my team work, collaboration, and presentation skills. My work resulted in publications as the first author in the ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces and Macromolecules journals, as well as publications with my teammates and collaborators. I am highly motivated, goal-oriented, and able to work independently or collaborate with a team. SKILLS

EDUCATION

University of Windsor Sep 2017 — Sep 2019

Master's in Science Windsor

Focused on the development of new active blending systems towards intrinsically stretchable and self-healing semiconducting materials.

National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Sep 2013 — Jun 2017 Bachelor's Degree Kyiv

Studied membrane transport, surface chemistry, membrane modification and other related topics in membrane engineering.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Research Assistant, University of Windsor Sep 2017 — Sep 2019 Windsor

Working on my Master’s thesis under the supervision of Simon Rondeau-Gagné, Ph.D. The thesis is focused on the development of stretchable semiconducting polymers via physical blending with elastomers towards flexible electronics. Stretchable semiconducting polymers can be used in various electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and organic solar cells. Duties performed: conducting experiments; data analysis; organic chemistry; polymer synthesis; characterization techniques (examples of techniques: gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-vis spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR-spectroscopy, and others). Teaching Assistant, University of Windsor Sep 2017 — Sep 2019 Windsor

Working as a Teaching Assistant in Organic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry II, General Chemistry I, and General Chemistry II courses.

Primary duties: assisting professor in various teaching duties; conducting laboratory experiments; assisting professor with tutoring, grading midterms and exams; helping students with teaching material. PUBLICATIONS
