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 \|
