Biography
I joined the BPU in June 2024 as a Business Science Assistant to support service rendered work with businesses, audit and support academics with their research, and promote engagement in outreach activities.
Expertise Summary
I support a range of service projects, solving a variety of problems for businesses. This often involves using various spectroscopy and chromatography methods to deliver tailored research to clients in the form of high quality reports.
I obtained a MSci with a Year in Industry from the University of Nottingham. My year in industry was focused around analytical techniques including various forms of chromatography. For my master's project I worked within the BPU to explore the techno-economic feasibility of producing second-generation bio-ethanol from invasive plant species. After working within the BPU for my master's and working on the boundary between research and business, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue.
