I am an undergraduate student at Durham University studying Chemistry. I have completed my Laidlaw research at Durham University in my first summer, at the department of chemistry, working on 3 dimensional pi conjugated metal-organic framework synthesis and characterization with potential applications in energy storage. I completed my second period of research at the University of York, where my supervisor had moved. I worked on a different, but related project, investigating the anion binding properties of flexible cleft NDI molecules. I have also completed research experience at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, where I worked on the development of a simple synthetic process for structurally colored materials.
