Background
I have over 15 years of working with energetic materials at Cranfield University. I started at Cranfield as a Senior Technician, while also completing a PhD in the field of novel composite propellants. Among my jobs, I maintained a suite of thermal analysis instruments and provided guidance and expertise. At university, I studied Chemistry and completed my ‘Part II’ project in organic synthesis at Oxford. Over the years I have increase my knowledge in materials and thermal and mechanical analysis. I’m currently a Research Fellow within Formulations in the Manufacturing group.
