I am researching nanotechnology, collagen and ageing. I am funded by a studentship from the BBSRC and UCL Impact

The Eastman and UCL provide a community of world leading researchers, the latest equipment and close links to industry. I enjoy the postgraduate environment with access to clinical researchers, patients and leading researchers. The research carried out at the Eastman has a direct link to improving the lives of people and researchers are able to work closely with clinicians. The research student body is also friendly and lively.

I have conducted research with a leading cosmetics company (L’Oreal) and have also taken part in a number of research competitions

I would like to continue pursuing a career leveraging innovation and research. My experiences with industry and research gained during my time at the Eastman will aid greatly in these ambitions.
