This has lead to ongoing work on beamsteering optics, nanofluids and perovskite solar cell research. More recently I was awarded the SPIE Woman in Engineering funding to visit and collaborate at the University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia for a month. I have spent 3 months in Spain carrying out research and working with academics at the University of Jaen testing and developing PV prototypes and similarly spent 4 months in India carrying out durability and temperature tests. I have volunteered for various activities including organizing interdisciplianry workshops and postdoctoral conferences at the University of Exeter as well as various outreach events (science in the pub, school science days, royal cornwall show). I like to take advantage of opportunities to travel, work in different environments and in general get involved in new projects. My PhD was specifically on: novel optical designs and materials. My research will be investigating optical nanostructures within nature, such as the cabbage white and glass wing butterfly wing scales (to begin with) for incorporation into new ultra-compact and lightweight solar panel technologies that can be integrated into various smart structures (laptops, phone, smart cars, smart buildings). I have been awarded a 3-year fellowship from EPSRC under the David-Clarke scheme. I have developed very good problem solving skills and fast learning to work with other disciplines. One of my key interests is developing intedisciplianry research, the methodologies, procedures for initiation and management as well. This includes materials, surface structures, manufacturing methods, solar tracking, thermal managment, photovoltaic performances and biomimicry. I am happy to talk about any of my work, assist or collaborate on any projects no matter the background discipline. My expertise lies in optics but encompases many contributing fields surrounding solar concentrator technology. I am a research fellow in the Environment and Sustainability Insittitue (ESI) at the Unviersity of Exeter Penryn Campus.
