I have been awarded a £70,000 grant to develop a fluorescence and X-ray visible nanoparticle tracer for use in soil and groundwater sciences. The research will take place at the Kroto Research Institute at the University of Sheffield and is funded by the university, my department (Civil and Structural Engineering) and the EPSRC Knowledge Transfer Account.

It is a very exciting opportunity to spend a year conducting independent research and developing an operational network of research partners throughout the university and beyond.

Planning starts now for an October start!
