Academic overview (last updated: 2012)

Graduation, June 2011
After having graduated with a 1st class BSc (Hons) in Applied Chemistry from the University of Plymouth in June of 2011, I was given the opportunity to stay and pursue a PhD within the Environmental and Fluid Modelling Group at Plymouth University starting in October of 2011. The PhD project was an extension of my 3rd year undergraduate dissertation project with my supervisor, Professor G.P. Matthews, and involved investigating the controlled release of drugs and flavours from nanoporous substrates, in collaboration with Omya AG.

Research keywords: Diffusion, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), physical chemistry, chemical engineering science, porous structures, porosity, modelling, PoreXpert, surface and colloid chemistry, nanoemulsions, drug delivery, Zero Length Cell, HPLC, sorption, diffusion, analytical chemistry...

Techniques: Mercury intrusion porosimetry, helium pycnometry, envelope pycnometry, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), zero length cell (ZLC), UV-Vis, elemental analysis, FT-IR, ICP-MS, surface area analysis via N2 sorption, Python, HTML, CSS, reliability engineering, safety engineering, PSA/QRA/PRA...

I have also studied various language modules with The Open University partly through a discretionary award.
