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.
