Selected Projects
- Oct 2016 – PhD project – Electroactive organometallic ligands for quantum dot photovoltaicsSelf-designed PhD project looking at developing photo-polymerizing ligands for use in lead sulphide
quantum dot solar cells, providing high mobility pathways for electrons through a network of conjugated
bonds. Supplementing experimental research with extensive transmission and scanning transmission
electron microscopy, focused ion beam milling and electron energy loss spectroscopy. - Sep-Dec 2015 Semester project – SHINE and IPESECreated a Matlab model, energy balances and mass balances for a proposed device by the SHINE initiative.
Complemented model with experimental data examining the effects of inter-electrode distance, film
thickness and effect of annealing films on electrolyzer performance. - Sep 2014 Synthesis of Alkyne derivativesSynthesized 12-carbon alkyne chains with protecting groups using schlenk glassware. Products isolated using
column chromatography and characterized using H-NMR. Synthesis carried out on the multi-gram scale,
creating valuable stock for the research group. - Feb 2014 Nano-structuring of Polyethylene Films for Use in Organic Photonic Applications
Successfully demonstrated principles for nanostructured bilayer photonic devices made with a mechanical
stabilizing agent.Developed skills in wire-bar coating, spin coating, and electron microscopy. - Jun 2013 Once Upon a Time in the Web – An Examination of the Properties of Spider Silk
Designed a project looking into the potential of spider silk as a wound dressing. Led a team of 5 students in
wet chemical and dry labs, demonstrated anti-microbial properties and super-contraction of two kinds of
spider silk.
