About
Hi, I'm Sarah Mariska, a product designer with a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering.
I'm equipped with the ability to synthesize my own materials, both organic and inorganic, to achieve specific product functionalities while assessing their environmental impact before the materials and products are launched. My experience expands from industrial product design, functional materials, adsorption-based water treatment, and fluid-management technologies—bringing together creative concepts and scientific understanding.
I believe every meaningful creation begins with a purpose. And mine is simple: to create with love, seek harmony, and let human ingenuity become a grace to planet Earth.

New Hydrocalumite Adsorbent
New Hydrocalumite Adsorbent
This scanning electron microscope (SEM) image shows dehydrated Friedel's salt synthesized via high-shear and high-turnover mixing. Composed of earth-abundant calcium and aluminum elements, this advanced Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) serves as a high-performance, low-cost adsorbent that outperforms conventional thermally treated LDHs. It delivers exceptional adsorption capacity and stability across a wide range of pH levels, while its structural memory effect enables it to endure thermal regeneration for multiple re-use cycles.
High Viscosity Fluid Management
High Viscosity Fluid Management
Patented by FLXR Engineering, a magnetic stir bar designed specifically for high-viscosity fluids. Unlike traditional stirrers, its unique geometry divides thick media into manageable sections, allowing it to spin smoothly and maintain strong circulation where standard stir bars fail.
