I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering at LSBU researching optoelectronic thin films materials.
My primary research focuses on designing, synthesising, and testing functional thin films, with a particular emphasis on optoelectronic materials like transparent electrodes, electrocatalysts, and photoelectrocatalysts. The development of these materials is both fascinating and crucial, as they play a pivotal role in renewable energy technologies such as solar and fuel cells, which are essential for achieving national and international commitments towards net-zero emissions.
I use insights from physics, chemistry and engineering to design thin films providing improved performance, processability and/or making use of more environmentally benign constituents for implementation in devices.
I completed my MSci in Chemistry in 2008 and my PhD in 2012 - both in the Department of Chemistry at University College London. After my PhD I worked in industry for four years as a scientific consultant working projects ranging from water purification to photovoltaics before returning to UCL as a research fellow. Through my research, I have published ~100 research papers in peer reviewed journals and have one granted US patent. Due to the application focused nature of my research, I work closely with industrial partners in the UK, Europe and the US.
