Previo​​us Experience​:​

Aftergaining my PhD I worked in industry as a Development Scientist for Teknek, working on polyurethane and adhesives. I then moved to the Harwell campus to work with the UK Catalysis Hub (funded through UCL) as a Research Technician. I then worked for the Hub as a Laboratory Manager, funded through Cardiff University before making the switch to STFC.
