I look at human tissue under the microscope to see what is making the patient ill. I don’t do many experiments like other researchers do, but I really enjoy staining slides different colours so it shows different structures and parts on the cells.

I do lots of different experiments to make and test crystals that we produce in the lab. My favourite experiment though is when we shine xrays at the crystals we make to help figure out what the crystal structure is (i.e., how the molecules in the crystals are arranged). We can do this using a nice single crystal or with a powder and the experiment is called xray diffraction

My experiments at the moment are all to do within increasing the size of printable solar pannels that can be made with a t-shirt printer and improving their performance. My favourite experiment so far was to develop a way of making europes largest screen-printed solar panel with the equipment I had and new equipment that I would need to make. It was a really fun challenge and I suceeded. I am now looking for ways to make them larger again and to automate the process to that they can be made faster.

most of my experiments involve mixing various black powders and several liquids, then coating the resulting ink onto something. I really like the coating process we use – it’s really satisfying!

My research uses lots of electrochemistry. We test biosensors and biofuel cells using electrochemical methods. Briefly, we apply current or voltage to measure the response of an electrochemical cell using a device called potentiostat. I like to characterise our devices and to see if they can sense the desired amount of the chemicals we are looking for.

I used to do a lot more in the laboratory than i do now. I would say the method i enjoyed doing most was acid digestion of samples that i was then going to run amino acid analysis on.
