• Postgraduate Research Student in Chemistry

  • Oct 2012 - Mar 2017

  Planned and undertook research into polymers for the development of biomedical materials. Responsibilities included processing complex data and working to tight deadlines independently on my own studies and in collaboration with other academics on their research interests. The high quality, originality and thoroughness of the resulting work led to multiple publications in high-impact chemistry journals, and the opportunity to present research at national and international conferences. My presentation skills were recognised with an award at the 2015 University of Warwick Postgraduate Chemistry Symposium. Show less
