ABOUT SHABABA SELIM
I’m a technology and market insights specialist with a strong focus on the commercialisation of advanced materials and emerging technologies. My expertise spans- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)- Aerogels- Low-loss materials for RF, radar, high-speed digital- Fire protection materials for EVs - Semiconductor innovations including high-performance computing (HPC), memory & storage technologies- Photocatalysis and electrocatalysts for solar energy conversion.With a background in R&D consulting, I’ve supported start-ups, SMEs, and global corporates across the Food & Beverage, Industrial, and Consumer sectors. Projects I\'ve worked on have helped clients identify viable market opportunities, assess technical and commercial risks, and shape product development and go-to-market strategies. My work has covered several aspects of commercialisation roadmaps, from early-stage concept generation, to developing and bridging the gap to market-ready solutions.Alongside technical depth, I bring strong experience in collaborating with diverse stakeholders, including business leads, technical experts, and cross-functional teams, to drive complex projects forward. I’ve led and supported multi-partner initiatives, managed timelines and deliverables, and maintained alignment between scientific goals and commercial objectives.My PhD research focused on optical spectroscopic techniques for advancing semiconductors and electrocatalysts for solar energy applications. I’ve co-authored 19+ scientific publications in high impact journals including JACS, Nature Communications, Advanced Functional Materials, Chemical Science, Nature Materials, Nature Reviews Materials, and more. I’ve also contributed to international projects, including the Youth & Science Programme’s Artificial Photosynthesis initiative in Spain.
