PhD TITLE
"Nanomaterials for Security Applications"
Research and development on nano-scale materials such as gold colloids, quantum dots with supramolecular functionalisation, for security applications, such as explosives detection and fingerprinting.
PREVIOUS DEGREES
MRes (UCL, SECReT) - Feasibility Study into the use of SMO Electrochemical Sensors for Detection of Explosives - Prof. I Parkin and Prof. S Hailes
MChem (Christ Church, Oxford) - Masters in Synthetic Organic Chemistry (Porphyrins) under Professor Harry Anderson
PREVIOUS JOBS
Research internships at the University of Southampton in Macrocyclic Chemistry
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM...
Southampton, Hampshire
WHY I APPLIED TO THE SECURITY SCIENCE DTC
I wanted to move beyond pure chemistry, and tackle a more applied problem whilst learning new skills from beyond my discipline
RESEARCH INTERESTS
