Research focused upon the development of an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based sensor for employment as a screening tool for novel psychoactive substances (NPS) within complex matrices. Target species were detected within a variety of complex matrices including herbal material, commercial drink samples and biological fluids. Increased ECL specify was coined through the development of pH controlled ECL alongside the utilisation of multiple metal luminophores, affording different emission mechanisms to exploit.

Geelong, Victoria, Australia

Visiting researcher to Deakin University for a total of 4 months between two separate research visits. Funded by the RSC mobility grant, to gain experience in the use of iridium and osmium based luminophores toward development of multi-coloured ECL sensors for NPS detection.

Macclesfield

First-hand experience of working as an analytical chemist within the pharmaceutical industry. Work was performed to both GMP and GLS standards and involved the characterisation and quantification of drug products using both common and specialised analytical techniques and data handling systems including; HPLC/UPLC, dissolution, size exclusion chromatography, capillary and capillary gel electrophoresis, fragment analyser capillary gel electrophoresis, NMR, UV-Vis spectrophotometery , karl fischer vaporisation, thermo ATLAS, karat 32 and LIMS

A summer research studentship with Dr Lorraine Gibson in the area of environmental chemistry. Supervised by a PhD student and working along side two further students from other departments to learn practical laboratory procedures, building on communication skills, teamwork and the ability to reproduce research data unsupervised. Knowledge of health and safety was gained through COSSH. Practical laboratory skills were built upon within a research environment, whilst working both independently, under supervision and within a team.

Paisley, United Kingdom

Summer Work, covering June 2012 - September 2012 and June 2013 - September 2013, gaining experience within an industrial environment, whilst working in an chemical analysis laboratory carrying out quality control checks via a number of chemical and physical tests. Gained experience in document handling and recorded keeping, a knowledge of health and safety and experience working within a LEAN learning and 5S environment.
