Research Experience:
- Jan 2024-March 2025: University of Exeter, UK
- For my masters thesis, under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Kattnig, my work was focused on extending the work of Prof. Peter Hore and Jiate Luo, where they looked at chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) on the formation of a radical pair. This was done by looking at CISS within the Cry4a protein and seeing how it effects the performance of a compass that is formed of both radical pair C and radical pair D, for a variety of different rate constants. During this time I was also involved with developing MolSpin, adding a new task, functionality and numerical solvers to aid my research.
