I have four years of university lab experience. Each experiment required precision, team-work and effective time-management which subsequently developed my skills as a researcher. My third year BSc group research project (working in a team under supervision by Dr Alan Brisdon) was focussed on the effect of fluorination on N-heterocyclic carbenes in catalysis. By working as a team, we achieved a final mark of 76%. Show less
