Research

The transportation and storage of high energy organic peracids can be a significant challenge for chemical industries.  On-site, on-demand generation of oxidants would mitigate many of the problems associated with their use in industrial processes.  My research in the REaCT group concerns the application of electrochemically generated oxidants in organic synthesis processes.  This research is part of a wider EPSRC funded project ‘Manufacturing in Flow: Controlled Multiphase Reactions on Demand (CoMRaDe)’ being conducted at Imperial College London and the University of Loughborough.
