My research interests span synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry as well as brewing science and chemical analysis of brewing ingredients and beer. My teaching covers all aspects of organic chemistry, NMR spectroscopy and brewing science.

I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Warwick (MChem Chemistry) in 2008. I then moved to the University of Cambridge to undertake PhD studies, funded by Cancer Research UK and supervised by Prof Steven V. Ley. I completed my doctorate in 2012 and stayed in the Ley group to conduct three years of postdoctoral research funded by Pfizer Global Research and Development. In 2015, I moved to Sheffield Hallam University as a Lecturer in Organic and Medicinal Chemistry before being promoted to Senior Lecturer in Organic Chemistry in 2018. Since 2022, I have been course leader for the BSc/MChem Chemistry degree streams.
