I still have a PhD position available in my research group at the University of Leicester on designing new synthetic methodology for fluorination using hypervalent iodine reagents. Start date: 23 September 2024.

Today is my last day at Cardiff University School of Chemistry after 9 years together - thanks for everything! Looking forward to starting at Chemistry@Bath Uni on Monday for the next chapter :)
