Senior Lecturer in Criminology, Aberystwyth University I worked for a large city Youth Offending Team for several years as a case manager, and while there, completed my PhD looking at the emotional intelligence of children who have offended. Subsequently relocating to a tiny village in Wales, I worked on a Welsh Government/Youth Justice Board Cymru project looking into the resettlement practice of YOTs across North Wales (the ‘Resettlement Broker’ project), before moving into academia, lecturing in Criminology at Aberystwyth University. My writing and research covers a variety of areas within youth justice, such as systems/processes, resettlement policy and practice, the voice of the child/collaboration, Child First justice, and the effects of Covid-19 on justice-involved children.
Group leader in Single molecule imaging, Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research I have worked for ~10 years in the field of single molecule imaging. Using a tool called 'Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy', I was able to study chemical reactions on surfaces one-molecule-at-a-time. I recently extended the use of such microscope to determine structures of carbohydrate-decorated proteins and lipids - also known as glycoconjugate - as they are key molecules in many biological functions - and dysfunctions. I started my PhD in 2013 at the University of Toronto under Prof. John C. Polanyi (Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1986). Graduated in 2018, I joined Prof. Klaus Kern at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany as Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow. Since 2023, I have started my own research group funded by the European Research Council.
