As an undergraduate, I studied Materials Physics before specialising, as a postgraduate, in Polymer Science and Technology. My PhD focused on polymer nanostructures. </p> <p>In 2014, I joined the University of Surrey as a Research Fellow and really began to focus on the development of functional coatings. Joining a large consortium of universities and business partners, I helped to develop a new environmentally-friendly coating formulation that protects steel from water corrosion. </p> <p>I moved to Loughborough in 2016 where a Vice-Chancellor’s Fellowship provided me the opportunity to start my independent research career – and dive deeper into the world of functional coatings. </p> <p>In 2019, I gained international recognition with the Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society’s <a href="https://engage.aps.org/dpoly/honors/prizes-awards/lecture-exchange">Polymer Lecture Exchange Award</a>. </p> <p>The Future Leaders Fellowship that I was awarded in 2020 is proving to be a golden opportunity.
