Background
Dr. Jacqueline Horsfall graduated with a degree in Chemistry from the University of Kent at Canterbury in 1990 and then worked briefly for BASF C&I developing heat and cold set inks. In 1992, she joined the Paint research Association in Teddington, where she was mainly involved in a project that studied the degradation of radiation cured coatings.
In 1995, Dr Horsfall joined Cranfield University, where she worked on an EPSRC sponsored project to manufacture and test solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell membranes using the radiation grafting approach. This formed the basis of the work for her PhD and graduated with this in 2000.
Jacqueline has worked on several follow-on projects and is currently working in the field of radiation grafting and fuel cells.
Research interests
- Fuel cells
- Ion exchange membranes
