I love to make bendy solar panels on plastics. We can make them in the morning, test them over lunch in the sunshine and then decide what we need to do better tomorrow from looking at the different results.

It’s great, I love it! A lot of what I do is making white powder after white powder which might sound a bit boring – but imagine this. You take your boring white powder, and grow it into beautiful crystals. Already pretty cool right? You then take that crystal, and put it into a machine which shoots x-rays at it. Yes, ACTUAL X-RAYS! Just like the ones that let you see through your arms and see your bones! What the crystal does is bounce the x-rays that go through it in very precise ways, which the machine measures. The machines then does some very complicated maths (maths is important!) and eventually gives you a picture of exactly what your compound is. If you go to google images and type in “x-ray structure” you’ll see lots of cool pictures of balls connected by sticks. Those balls are atoms and those sticks are bonds between them, and those pictures are made from x-ray machines! This is so incredibly cool it’s hard to tell you over text, but stuff like that really, really excites me and pushes me to make more boring white powders to make pretty cool crystals to use the awesome x-rays to make incredible pictures!

Very much so!
At home I love to bake and always bring in cakes and cupcakes to work.
While in work and my previous roles I’ve made some strange and wonderful samples too!
