Lecturer on 'Raman spectroscopy applications to materials' for master students in Materials Science, University of Tours, France.

Lecturer and demonstrator for PhD students (Raman spectroscopy, Latex); EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Graphene Technology, University of Cambridge, UK.

Lecturer, demonstrator and tutor for undergraduate students in Engineering (Engineering Mathematics and Scientific Computing, Communications Engineering, Part IA Electrical and Information Engineering paper); University of Exeter and Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, UK.

My current research is focused on the study of perovskite oxide membranes using optical and surface probe techniques.
Previously, I worked on the study of 2-dimensional and nano-materials using Raman spectroscopy and exploiting their properties for device applications such as resistive random access memories, hard disk drives, photodetectors and sensors.
