Position/funding body Period Institution Project
Science and Engineering Research Council post-doctoral research assistant 1993-1996 School of Chemical Sciences, University of East Anglia Investigating the feasibility of optically detecting transition metal ion electron spin resonance with the coherent Raman effect, with Prof. Andrew J. Thomson FRS. The experimental work was performed at ETH, Zurich in collaboration with Prof. Arthur Schweiger and Dr Dieter Suter
Royal Society European Scientific Exchange Programme fellowship (2 years) and DFG fellowship (German) 1996-1999 Department of Physics, University of Dortmund, Germany Investigating the feasibility and utility of applying coherent Raman detected electron spin resonance to transition metal ion centres in proteins, with Prof. Dieter Suter
EPSRC funded post-doctoral research fellow 1999-2006 Department of Physics, University of Bath Application of coherent Raman detected electron spin resonance to transition metal ion centres in proteins and to electrons and holes in semiconductors, extension of the method to mm-wave frequencies, with Prof. J. John Davies and Dr. Daniel Wolverson
BBSRC/EPSRC funded post-doctoral research fellow 2006-2010 Department of Physics, University of Bath The development of an improved electron spin resonance imaging instrument, with a focus on its application as a biomedical research tool.
