About
Biography
I am a postdoctoral research fellow interested in real space experimental investigation of soft and biological systems via optical microscopy. I obtained an Integrated Masters, MPhys. degree in Physics from the University of Edinburgh in 2009 and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Bristol in 2014. I have previously held postdoctoral research positions at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) in the laboratory of Prof. Todd Squires (2015-2018) and at University College London (UCL) and the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Prof. Giuseppe Battaglia's group.

My research at the University of Surrey focuses on diffusiophoresis - the phenomenon by which a gradient in solution concentration can induce the motion of suspended microscopic objects.
