Academic Qualifications:
MChem Chemistry with a Year in Industry, University of Leeds
PhD Chemistry, University of Leeds
Rachel recently completed her PhD in Chemistry at the University of Leeds where she worked at the interface between Chemistry, Electrical Engineering and Medicine. Her research focussed on the development and optimisation of modified micro and nanoscale electrodes with metallic nanoparticle-nanocarbon composite materials for use in high-spatial-resolution electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide in cell-scale biological environments.
Prior to this, Rachel completed an Integrated Master’s in Chemistry at the University of Leeds, during which time she undertook a 12-month industrial placement at Lubrizol, working on the development of marine diesel engine oil additives for compliance with low-sulfur fuel regulations. Her Master’s research project centred on developing copper nanoparticle-nanocarbon composites for electrochemical CO2 reduction.
