​
Biography: I come from County Kildare in Ireland and completed my undergraduate degree at Trinity College Dublin. In my final year, I worked on the organocatalytic DKR of azlactones under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Connon. I then moved to the University of St Andrews, where I obtained an MSc by research working in the group of Prof. Andrew Smith on the development of enantioselective organocatalytic sigmatropic rearrangements. I joined the iCAT CDT in September 2022 and have now commenced my PhD project in the Procter group, where my research will focus on integrating chemo- and biocatalysis for cross-coupling reactions. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, travelling, and playing the piano.
