Personal profile

I am currently undertaking a part time funded PhD under the supervision of Dr Susannah Walsh and Professor Katherine Huddersman. The PhD focuses on disinfection using a novel catalyst developed at the university and builds on previously published data. Studies have shown its ability to increase the activity of hydrogen peroxide against a range of organisms including Gram positive, Gram negative and bacterial endospores.
