Research Associate
I am a PDRA in the Department of Chemistry and the Institute for Energy and Environmental Flows, working in the group of Professor Stuart Clarke.
My research focuses on obtaining fundamental understanding of surface chemistry; this includes the use of both experimental and theoretical methods to investigate a broad range of different phenomena, from chiral amino acid layers on metal single crystals under ultra-high vacuum - the subject of my PhD - to the adsorption of inorganic ions on minerals from aqueous solution, and how different adsorbed species change the reactivity of iron surfaces.
