Profile

I am a PhD student in Raman Lab at the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences. My project will make use of a recently developed optical spectroscopy platform to quantify the dynamic behaviour of individual microdroplets in response to a range of external stimuli such as UV or IR radiation, pH or temperature variation, reagents, magnetic fields (and possibly others). My goal is to use optical spectroscopy on ultra-small individual samples to study how structural changes at the nano- and micro-scale relate to function and performance in smart and sustainable materials.
