Sarah Boyall
PhD Student
Sarah graduated from the University of Leeds in 2020 with a first in Chemistry (MChem). During her undergraduate degree, she completed a summer placement with Dr Charlotte Willans investigating how the shape of various flow channels affected the reaction conversion in an electrochemical flow reactor. Throughout Sarah’s MChem project, she developed a continuous flow system that could produce bimetallic nanoparticles made of gold and silver for their use in catalytic reactions under the supervision of Dr Thomas Chamberlain. Sarah has just started her PhD with Dr Thomas chamberlain and Dr Richard Bourne in producing a continuous flow system that uses carbon nanoreactor supported nanoparticle catalysts, for the self-optimisation of heterogenous reduction reactions sponsored by Astra Zeneca.
