I am a Research Fellow at Coventry University with a background in electrochemistry and material science. My current project focuses on the development of efficient, high-current-density electrocatalytic materials for use in anion exchange membrane electrolysers.
Hydrogen is considered to be the fuel of the future and ensuring that women are involved in the field is essential for success. The Women in Hydrogen Network promotes diversity and inclusion of women in the field of hydrogen energy which is traditionally male-dominated. The network also provides role models to aspiring female professionals, thus inspiring future generations. Overall, the network contributes to a diverse and innovative hydrogen future therefore advancing our efforts to tackle climate change.
I have always been passionate about chemistry, which led me to study Analytical Chemistry and Forensic Science at Coventry University. Here, I was introduced to the world of material science.
After graduating, I went on to study for a PhD in electrochemistry with a focus on developing novel electrocatalyst materials for ammonia anodic oxidation. I am currently a Research Fellow, continuing to study efficient and alkaline-stable non-noble metal materials, suitable for advanced anion exchange membrane electrolysis.z
