Elizabeth Jones
Lizzie is a PhD student with Weatherup Group. She graduated from the University of St Andrews with an MSci in Chemistry and Physics. During the summers of 2017-2019, Lizzie worked as a research intern at KP Technology (Wick), University of St Andrews, and Diamond Light Source, respectively.
Research Interests
After studying a joint honours in chemistry and physics Lizzie's main research interests were in the crossover between these subjects; surface science encapsulates this. Her previous research experience focused on using XPS to study thin films and improving methods of production of thin films. After performing a research project looking at preventing corrosion of copper and studying this using XPS, Lizzie then became interested by more advanced XPS techniques which could improve this sort of study. Going forward Lizzie will be focusing on producing cells which allow battery reactions to be studied by XPS at near ambient conditions.
