NanoDTC PhD Student, c2016
Research Topic: Solar-driven hydrogen generation from waste
Reisner Lab
Taylor studied Nanoengineering at the University of California San Diego before joining the NanoDTC in 2016. She investigates the solar-driven production of hydrogen fuel from plastic waste under the supervision of Prof. Erwin Reisner, and is also heavily involved in public engagement and science communication initiatives. Taylor looks forward to building a career in the renewable energy or sustainability sectors. PhD Supervisors: Prof. Erwin Reisner– Department of Chemistry, Prof. Neil Greenham– Department of Physics and Dr. Laura Torrente Murciano – Department of Chemical Engineering
