PhD in Chemical Biology, Imperial College London and King's College London. My project focus was on nanopore sensing technologies and artificial membrane systems, touching on themes of bottom-up synthetic biology, NGS, fluorescence microscopy and membrane biophysics. Technical Skills:- Artificial membranes- Fluorescence imaging- Single molecule imaging- Microscopy- Maintenance of custom optical paths for TIRFM- Patch-clamping/electrophysiology- Python for data analysis- Variety of biophysical/analytical techniques Skills-Based Courses Completed: - Communicating Research in Schools- Object-Oriented Python- The Linux Command Line for Scientific Computing- Using Git to Code, Collaborate and ShareConference Presentations: - British Biophysical Society Meeting 2022Teaching Responsibilities:- General Teaching Assistant, King's College London. Taught undergraduate students laboratory techniques, analytical practices, physical chemistry theoretical principles and report writing skills. Demonstrated the use of a variety of analytical chemistry techniques and worked 1-1 or in small groups to help students troubleshoot and gain a deeper understanding of their work. Provided critical feedback on written reports and lab technique. Other Activities:- Technical report writing- Critical literature evaluation- Delivered talks at conferences and internal presentations- Taught new group members key technical skills and provided support/advice on experiments and data analysis- Maintained wet and laser laboratory equipment, liaising with the technical team where necessary
