Melanie Nutter is a Chemistry PhD student at Imperial College London. She has an MRes degree in Advanced Molecular Synthesis from Imperial, and an MChem degree in Chemistry from Heriot-Watt University. During this talk, she will be exploring the uses of light and reaction technology in Chemistry to ‘unlock’ chemical reactions. At the interface between Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, we can move away from the beakers and round bottom flasks and towards new, exciting reactors – leading to the Photochemistry of the Future.
