My research interests have focused on two themes: electroanalysis and polymer synthesis and characterisation and their applications in the development of electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Generally this has focussed on polymeric immobilisation methodologies for enzyme based amperometric sensors. These have included conducting polymers, photolithographic polymers and emulsion systems. I have also been involved in electrochemical waste purification and reclamation projects and most recently, a study of the electrochemistry of self assembled copper helicates and the electrochemical characterisation of palladium catalysts in conjunction with Syngenta. I have published a number of papers and I am a regular referee for Chemical Communications, Journal of Materials Chemistry and Soft Matter. I have given a number of oral and poster presentations at both National and International conferences and I have been involved with the organisation of a range of meetings and conferences.
