I am an ambitious and driven individual who finds enjoyment in the development of new ideas and learning new things. I am a hardworking and motivated individual who gains satisfaction from a job well done. My degree has covered a broad array of chemistry and as such I have faced a wide array of complex tasks. My PhD was multidisciplinary project on catalyst development with a focus on organic synthesis. My strengths as an excellent and resilient problem solver has allowed me to flourish in this environment. I have developed a genuine passion for organic synthesis during my degree, particularly in devising innovative novel molecules. As such I am seeking a challenging and fast-paced environment to continue my development as an effective and innovative scientist.
Skills:
- Synthetic route planning, devised and carried out novel synthetic routes of 8+ steps, to complex organic molecules.
- Analysis: NMR, MS, HPLC, IR, Melting point.
- Software: MS Office, ACD NMR, Mercury, Flex analysis, Adobe Photoshop, Origin Lab, Chemdraw and protein visualisation software.
- Communication within teams both internally and withing collaborative groups abroad.
