Personal profile

Overview

First year PhD student in Chemistry, studying CO2 conversion into useful compounds - particularly formaldehyde: an important material for industry which is rarely observed as a CO2 reduction product due to it's highly reactive nature.

Previous research involved investigating cobalt-based molecular electrocatalysts for the water splitting reaction, which offers a way to store renewable energy in the form of chemical bonds.
