Personal statement
Personal statement
I am a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative academic with 15 years experience of working on hydrogen technologies and novel materials in Japan before returning to the UK. My main interests lay in energy and sustainabity and how we can ensure that so-called renewable technologies do not inherently rely on unsustainable or critical raw materials .
