Meet the scientists!

I’m a PhD student. This means I am studying to become a doctor of science. I work full time, it is just like a job. I get paid too. Every day I try experiments to get things to work a little bit better. My goal is to grow crystals that can gather up all the heat we waste in today’s world. Just think of charging your phone while you walk around.

I also get to do lots of science communication. I have even worked with the BBC a couple of times. He is me recording in one of their studios.

I work in a lab. Its a bit of a mixed lab. Bit of physics, bit of biology and lots of chemistry. I work with some very dangerous chemicals so I spend some time in a glovebox. This way I don’t touch or breath them in.  I melt the metals down and try to grow them into new and tiny crystals. I spend a lot of time on microscopes and taking X rays.

I would love to be able to develop a new show and to be able to tour around the country. I have a real passion for science and I love being able to share that with other people especially if I can do some exciting demonstrations along the way.
