I completed a master’s degree Chemistry as an undergraduate at University College London (UCL) before joining the NanoDTC in 2017 and becoming a member of Girton College. After mini (8-week) projects working on DNA nanotechnology and perovskite solar cells, my midi (13-week) project working on Metal–Organic frameworks (MOFs) set me on a path at the boundary between chemistry and Materials science which I pursued further as my PhD project. My work focuses on the application of MOFs as battery materials for sodium and lithium ion batteries.
