Brief Biography

I am currently a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at Plymouth University and also a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. My postdoctoral work is an investigation into the role of marine diagenesis of tephra on the carbon cycle using a range of organic, inorganic and physical parameters to measure and evaluate hypothesised effects. Prior to this I completed my PhD in the Centre for Research in Earth Sciences, Plymouth University in 2014, which involved reconciling marine and terrestrial records of a past hyperthermal event (PETM; ca 56 Ma) suggested to be the most likely analogue of the Cenozoic for rapid injection of carbon into the ocean-earth system. I obtained a first class BSc (Hons) in Analytical Chemistry from Plymouth University in 2009, during which I completed an honours project with Professor Simon Belt determining sea-ice extent throughout the Holocene in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago using a novel biomarker proxy, IP₂₅.

Teaching and Learning

I will be mainly teaching organic chemistry and laboratory practicals.
