Stuart Turner Email & Phone Number

Mixed commercial and research role mainly based around performing XRPD on a broad range of samples. Analysis techniques include identification of phases, semi-quantification, rietveld, and full pattern fitting. <2µm fraction analysis undertaken to identify clays and quantify using reference intensity ratio method. I also develop R code to streamline analytical processes. Additionally, I carry out commercial work for the SEM section, focusing on particle size, morphology, and composition using EDS.

Tutor on masters level space science module.

I used in-situ and remote sensing datasets to guide thermochemical modelling in the investigation of past water/rock reactions that occurred on Mars. Member of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory and ESA's ExoMars rover science teams.
