I'm a second year PhD, joint between Edinburgh and St Andrews. My research focuses on creating new, boron containing fluorescent materials. When I'm not doing chemistry and outreach, I play cello and enjoy climbing
Amy Price
Event Manager - Atoms to Galaxies
I'm an associate lecturer in inorganic chemistry at the University of St Andrews. My previous postdoctoral research focused on understanding the properties of man-made radioactive elements. During my PhD I researched new phosphorus and boron containing molecules and how we might be able to use them …
