Ph.D. Research Project:

Analysis of magnetic properties of nanocrystallites for application in the Fischer Tropsch and steam reforming processes.

After completing the undergraduate MChem program in Chemistry at the University of Warwick Robert continued on to a CASE Studentship based in the Physics Department, becoming the token Chemist in the Group. At Warwick Robert was supervised by Dr Martin Lees.

Robert's work was sponsored by Johnson-Matthey where he was supervised by Dr Peter Ellis. His work focussed on the study of nano metre sized domains of various materials with catalytic activity in industrial chemical processes.

After graduating in 2014 Robert joined Wolfram Research. In 2017, he took up a post as a Research Fellow in Medical Statistics at Birmingham City University.
