My research interests are mainly concerned with the study of metallic nanoparticles.

Looking both at the growth and morphology of individual particles and the architectures that they can form.

At present I am studying the crystal structure and morphology of high aspect ratio gold nanorods (20 x 300 nm) using HRTEM and electron diffraction.

I received my M.Chem degree from the University of Liverpool where I worked for Dr. M. Brust during my research project.

I also enjoy photography, music (listening to) and when money and time allow, travelling.
