Career Trajectory
Bio
My research focusses on two themes: actinide chemistry, both fundamental and applied to the storage of Spent Nuclear Fuels; non-covalent interactions and their applications to e-waste reclaimation. In actinide chemistry I am internationally recognised and have published 22 papers on this topic including invited reviews and gained ca £2.5m of funding at synchrotrons in UK and Germany - synchrotron time is very competitive, highly prized and gives deeper insights into the chemistry and physics of the actinide compounds. These experiments take ca 1 year from planning to the experiment and data analysis is not trivial with an average lead time of 1.5 years to publication. We are one of a handful of groups worldwide that can do this and have conducted measurements that pushed the capabilities of the synchrotrons beyond the state of the art. We collaborate with multidisciplinary groups from US and Europe and have had several "firsts": the use of emission spectroscopy in U(IV) chemistry that has become a mainstream technique; the use of hard oxophiolic uranyl compounds to catalyse the ring opening of oxygen containing monomer a reaction that should not occur but has led to generalisable mechanistic insights. Funding for this work has been from IRCSET PhD and IRC postdoctoral schemes and I have won EU funding (TALISMAN) and DAAD funding to visit large scale facilities in Germany to conduct transuranium research. Our endeavours in non-covalent interactions has generated 15 papers, two of which were selected to be on the front cover of the Journal.
