I am a PhD student in the Forse Group at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, studying carbon capture using electrochemical methods. Before starting my PhD, I completed an integrated master’s in chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, where I developed an interest in the chemistry of materials. During my final year, I undertook an industrial placement at Roche in Switzerland, where I worked on the development of controlled crystallisation strategies to target desired morphological properties and polymorphs of small-molecule pharmaceutical compounds. My current research focuses on an emerging carbon capture technology called supercapacitive swing adsorption (SSA). This method utilises the capacitive charging of conductive electrode materials to reversibly and selectively capture and release CO2.
