Throughout my career as an Inorganic-Materials chemist, I have focused my research on spectroscopic techniques and the use of new and interesting materials for solar energy conversion. In particular, researching the optimization of the multiple processes necessary for the efficient use of solar energy. I also have a passion for sharing my enthusiasm and love of science with learners of all ages, including my own 3 children.
