-Total of 10 years laboratory experience.-Publication in reputable journal as first author.-Assisted in supervising Masters students and visiting students.-Analysis of nanomaterials and small molecules primarily using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. With the additional use of UV-visible spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction for many materials.-Writing reports and accurately recording laboratory work.-Designing experiments and method development. For instance, developing a novel method to remove the end caps of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) for filling with fullerene molecules. The method has since featured in three journal articles and continues to be used within the research group and a collaborative group.-Presenting my work within the group and university departmental colloquium.
