My research interests are in Chemistry Education Research and Computational Chemistry.
In Chemistry Education Research I am interesting in the research exploring students self-efficacy in the chemistry laboratory. I design and develop new technologies such as interactive 360o videos and augmented reality experiences and research the impact on student learning in the cognitive and affective domain. I am also keen to discover the links that students think they have between their assessments and employability skills.
In Computational Chemistry I enjoy researching the processes that are involved on solid surfaces such as adsorption of species and catalysis of reactions. I am particularly interested in discovering the role that defects, such as dislocations, have on the properties of semiconductors. I am also interested in the aggregation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons which have astrochemical and environmental implications.
