Profile
I am Senior Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, working on microfluidic platforms for ice nucleation studies and the study of ice-nucleating particles in the high latitudes. I obtained an MChem degree and a PhD in analytical chemistry from the University of Hull (UK). I then worked as a post doc at KIST Europe (Germany) on the development of detection systems for capillary electrophoresis. Prior to my position at Leeds, I was a postdoc on a project involving miniaturised quality control testing in positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer production at the University of Hull.
I now work within the Ice Nucleation Group in the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS) at the University of Leeds, supervised by Professor Ben Murray.
