      I always really enjoyed it at School. I didn’t expect to become a scientist though – this has just naturally happened. I had arts and crafts kits as a kid, not really science!

      However, during my A level, I found aspects of Chemistry and Physics really interesting and I wanted to learn more. Now I find science so interesting, especially the materials side, and I think it’s amazing how we can have a material we make in the labs and then how we can then functionalize it in devices. This is true for Li-ion batteries and photovoltaics – I find it amazing!

      When I was studying at school, I really liked what I learnt in Physics and Chemistry and those topics made me interested in studying those topics at the university.

    I’ve always been curious about the world around me, and science is a great way to explore and understand that world.

    From a young age, I loved asking A LOT of questions and conducting experiments to find the answers.

    Science provides a way to explore those questions and use evidence to find the answers.
