Qualifications

PhD
MEng Engineering Science, University of Oxford

I joined Boult after completing an MEng and PhD in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. I enjoyed the variety of the broad undergraduate degree and wanted a career with a similar amount of technical variety. I have particular expertise in targeted drug delivery, which was the subject of my DPhil – specifically thermosensitive liposomal delivery of a small molecule therapeutic to solid tumours.
