I am a Research Assistant in the School of Chemistry, looking at extracting useful chemicals or products from waste agricultural biomass, and an Associate Lecturer in the School of Life Sciences. Until recently I was also a Research Assistant in the School of Life Sciences looking at the toxic effects of the biofuel butanol on biological membranes. I am interested in reducing environmental impacts by the use of industrial biotechnology.
