- Tutored GCSE students in leading up to their final exams for maths, chemistry and physics.- Planned sessions and demonstrations of the course material for particularly challenging topics.

- Designed and evaluated reaction parameters as part of a project to develop heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysed etherification reactions.- Performed hydrogenation reactions on mg to g scales within a high throughput setting, utilising high pressure multi-vessel reactors such as Biotage Endeavor, HEL CAT 96, ChemSCAN, and AutoMATE.- Utilised in-situ analysis techniques such as ReactIR and EasySampler reaction sampling.- Proven track record of independently performing reactions with air sensitive and pyrophoric reagents safely, often within the setting of hydrogenation reactions.- Interrogated processes through Design of Experiment, optimising reactions to improve yield while also taking into account factors such as cost, safety and environmental impact.- Visualised large sets of high throughput screening data through Spotfire. - Proficient with maintaining a high standard of laboratory data collection and storage.- Participated in and contributed to synthetic route brainstorm sessions for GSK compounds.- Implemented, organised and led weekly group meetings for fellow PhD students.- Supervised work experience students and directed them in lab-based problem-solving experiments.- Led industrial placement students in synthetic chemistry problem sessions to support their academic development.- Mentored apprentices within the department through lessons and workshops on various areas of chemistry to facilitate their distance learning.

- Synchronised with chemists in other labs and departments on site to synthesise many novel products from lubricants to pharmaceuticals.- Optimised and developed a novel one-pot Suzuki coupling reaction as part of a methodology project. This is to be submitted for publishing.- Produced compounds for shipping which met the required purity standard of 98% and a specified, pre-agreed mass.- Analysed the compounds through NMR spectroscopy, IR, UPLC, GC and LCMS.- Utilized apparatus such as automated purification (SP4 and Isolera), microwave and freeze drier.- Performed reactions with air sensitive and pyrophoric reagents.- Trained in the use of autoclaves and performing reactions at high pressures.- Developed research methods and learned how to record lab book data to a very high standard.- Undertook a research course on Reaxys.- Worked on milligram to multigram scales, often scaling up and optimising reaction conditions for larger scale.- Attended internal seminars from employees and academics on their work and observed presentations on numerous areas of chemistry.- Presented my own project work to other employees as part of an internal company seminar, and to other placement students and their supervisors at the Royal Society of Chemistry.
