Welcome to my personal website!
I am a diligent and conscientious scientist, driving ambitious research for the net-zero energy transition. I specialise in spectroscopy, optical materials and light harvesting. I am a Chartered Scientist (CSci), Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I love deconstructing problems, working on interdisciplinary projects and innovating in collaboration. I possess a growth mindset and enjoy working on projects at the academic-commercial interface.
Outside the lab, I like leading teams and taking up new challenges. I’ve captained two rowing clubs and organised entertainment events with 800+ guests. I champion the social mobility cause and am an ex-director of Project Access International, a charity committed to creating a world where passion and potential define a young person’s future.
