Aside from writing and submitting publications, this was the final presentation of the AXA Fellowship at Imperial - and my last as an academic. #wasanemotionalone
Recently presented suspect-screening results from high-res MS analysis of respirable dust at #Dioxin2024 Singapore. Multi-ionisation mode + library comparison confirmed carcinogen, endocrine disruptor, and respiratory irritant presence - in the absence of analytical standards.
Thrilled to be attending the 28th International Symposium on Separation Sciences (ISSS 2024) in Messina, Italy this week. I'll also be speaking on Wednesday about target and non-target two-dimensional GC TOF MS analysis of occupational airborne dusts in recycling centres.
'with projected global temp increases of 2.5 to 2.9°C by the end of the century' would integrating climate considerations into violence prevention strategies and mental health interventions be worthwhile?

Absolutely thrilled that one of the students I mentor for this year's EPQ programme at @otc_london has been accepted into their first-choice university!
Four years in the making, the Spectral Library for https://t.co/l8rkGuwpWC is finally live. After countless failures, I finally settled on a react.js build connected to Google's Firebase platform. Publication coming soon.

Exciting news! We are incredibly proud to launch our Spectral Library – an open-access, free, tool for plastic researchers wanting to further their chemical categorisation. Explore spectral data from FTIR, Raman microscopy, and soon, delve into pyrolytic decomposition products.
Absolutely thrilled to announce that the spectral library is now live @PlasticAnalytic! 🚀 What a weekend! More to come in the morning.

Oversaturated Raman spectra pose a challenge in spectral datasets, influencing preprocessing by introducing abnormal artefacts. These anomalies can affect chemometric categorisation and fundamentally alter the narrative constructed to explain the collected data.
This week, the Microplastics Team at the @ERGImperial, led by @MarineSteph, said goodbye to an amazingly talented and wonderful visiting PhD candidate, @GiuseppinaZuri. Her meticulous attention to detail over the past three months should result in two lead author publications!
Exciting news! I have integrated the resampling & spectral normalisation function into @PlasticAnalytic's spectral library via our @Firebase backend. The spectral library will launch in Jan 2024!
