Research involved uncovering the distribution and speciation of tungsten accumulation in biological tissue using synchrotron x-ray and laser ablation ICP-MS techniques. Development of python scripts to standardise large data from different synchrotron sources and to visualize data was an important component of this work.

Computational simulations were used in conjunction with UV-visible and Extended Absorption Fine-Structure Spectroscopy (EXAFS) to probe the mechanism of a lipid-mediated ferriheme detoxification process in the malaria parasite and its inhibition by antimalarial drugs. Findings were published in CrystEngComm, Dalton Transactions and Langmuir.During this.
