I’m a PhD student in the Chemistry department at Durham University, studying cofactor mimics to allow us to move reactions into more sustainable solvents, like water! Outside the lab, I'm an avid reader and hiker, and I've just started getting into baking!

I’m a PhD researcher in the Durham Physics Department, investigating the electrical properties of biomembranes, but really I spend a lot of my time reading books, walking and perfecting mixing margaritas.

I’m a chemistry PhD student here at durham. My research focuses on investigating how chemical reactions occur on a femtosecond timescale, which mostly involves playing with mirrors and crystals to guide and manipulate a laser beam. In my spare time, I love to boulder and go on hikes!

I'm a postdoc, building a platform of molecules trapped in lasers which we hope to use to simulate the quantum behaviour of complex condensed matter systems. Outside of our (windowless) lab, I can mostly be found trying to make the most of the sunlight exploring the countryside, or baking!

I am a Physics PhD, where I use a range of astrophysical and cosmological probes to (try and) study dark matter. In my downtime I love reading, cooking, the Great Outdoors, and generally trying to learn as much as I can about the world – preferably from interesting people over a pint in the pub!
