Prior to joining the profession, Alexandra completed a Masters in Chemistry at Durham University where she graduated top of her class, being awarded the Mastership of Chemistry Prize upon graduation. Following this, Alexandra completed a PhD, also at Durham University, where she designed and built a time-resolved spectroscopy suite comprised of three different experimental techniques for studying the hydrated electron in different solvation environments.

With Alexandra’s diverse academic background spanning across chemistry and physics, Alexandra’s technical expertise spans a wide range of sectors including chemistry, food science, light technologies, medical devices, material science, energy and mechanical engineering.
