Anjali John
I am currently, a third year PhD student within the Warwick Electrochemistry and Interfaces group, working under the expert guidance of Professor Julie Macpherson. My doctoral research, generously funded by Astrazeneca and Diamond CDT, revolves around Electrochemical removal and recovery of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) from pharmaceutical processes. As a part of my project, I have worked on developing a high quality, free-standing BDD that contain laser-cut holes in an optimized geometry for UV-vis Spectro electrochemistry. Additionally, my work also focusses on investigating the effect of metal electrodeposition on BDD subjected to different surface treatments as a function of surface roughness.
