About
My research background has spanned the area of photophysically active organic and organometallic semiconducting materials for photonics applications, particularly for organic semiconducting devices such as organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPV), which were the topics of my PhD (University of St. Andrews, Zysman-Colman Group). My postdoctoral research (Trinity College Dublin, Irish Research Council Fellow in the Gunnlaugsson Group) has seen my research move toward using these small molecule chromophores as building blocks for constructing hierarchical supramolecular assemblies, such as particles and polymers, which span the nanoscale. I am now (University of Oxford, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Postdoctoral Fellow in the Stevens group) applying these materials to biological systems for cellular imaging and phototherapies. My focus is on using spectroscopic and electrochemical methods to establish structure-property relationships that inform the design and synthesis of new materials with improved properties, such as bright and efficient luminescence, light harvesting, and energy and electron transfer systems.
