Research

The aim of my research is to improve the efficacy of hydrogen fuel cell catalysts and develop techniques to inform rational catalyst design more generally. I am using a combination of STEM to image catalyst nanoparticles at atomic resolution and computational techniques including DFT and Machine Learning to relate structure and composition of nanoparticles to their catalytic activity.

Bio

I graduated from Cambridge University with an MSci in Materials Science in 2019. Before starting my DPhil I worked as a low-carbon energy consultant, primarily on projects related to electric vehicles their effect on the electricity grid. When not working I enjoy listening to and playing music, cooking, and rock climbing.
