Profile
I work across disciplines and departments, underpinning chemical and data analysis. My recent research has focused on plant cell wall biochemistry in energy grasses, and its influence on thermochemical processes and fermentation. Increasingly, I am applying my skills to more environmental/ ecological issues including land reclamation and composting. My areas of expertise include chromatographic/ mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopy and imaging, thermochemical analysis, and statistical and chemometric data mining/ modelling. In the Department of Life Sciences, I coordinate the MSc in Biotechnology and I am Director of Taught Post-Graduate Studies. I teach at undergraduate and post graduate levels in biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmacology, and commercialisation.
