PhD Student in Chemistry at the University of Leicester

About

Being a former member of the Chemical Biology Research group, I have worked under the supervision of Dr Mark P. Lowe on my MChem research project titled: ‘Luminescent Ir(III) Complexes for Post-Mortem Imaging’. The research endeavoured to overcome the inherent limitations of current imaging modalities to visualise small blood vessels by tuning both complex solubility and optoelectronic properties. Developed skills include: • Able to comply with standard COSHH procedures • Performing synthetic chemistry and analytical techniques • Data analysis and interpretation • Able to devise a synthetic route via retrosynthetic analysis • Well-developed technical writing skills and excellent oral communication • Able to plan, manage and prioritise various time-sensitive projects I was also awarded the Waters Ltd prize for the best graduating Chemistry with Forensic Science student; this achievement truly reflects my dedication, passion and drive towards chemistry. EXPERTISE: Synthetic Organic Chemistry | Inorganic Chemistry | Analytical Chemistry | Imaging Chemistry | Chemical Synthesis | Chemical Biology | Synthetic route design | Research | UV-Vis and Fluorescence Spectroscopy |
