Emma graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2018 with a Masters degree in Chemistry. During her degree, Emma did a summer project with Professor Neil Champness developing a novel [3]-rotaxane and investigating its use in catalysis. In her fourth year, she did computational project under the supervision of Professor Elena Besley, investigating the implantation of metal ions into carbon nanostructures using molecular dynamic simulations. In her spare time Emma enjoys being part of the dance society, practising yoga and attempting to learn Spanish.
