      In this research novel nanomaterials have been synthesised which combine the properties of semiconducting materials with plasmonic metal nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have exciting applications in improving the efficiency of solar cells, and in the detection of molecules for disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring.

    • Postgraduate Teaching Assistant
      • Oct 2018 - Jan 2021

      The focus of the module for which I assisted involved presenting hydrocarbon-free solutions to areas such as transport, energy, food, and textiles industries. Marking reports, guiding debates, and facilitating group discussion for first year Engineering students has enabled me to develop my communication and leadership skills. Additionally, I can quickly adapt and solve technical problems which arise when teaching online.

      Responsibilities included welcoming prospective students and their parents to interview days, answering questions about the content of the course and university life, and giving guided tours of the campus. Interpersonal skills were important to ensure that prospective students were made to feel welcome. Furthermore, good communication was vital to accurately convey key information such as accommodation prices, location of healthcare services, and other information during campus tours. Timekeeping was also a high priority to ensure that the interview days ran smoothly. Show less
