Caitlin graduated from the University of Bristol with an MSci in Chemistry in 2014. Her final project investigated the use of Quantum Dots as glyco nanoprobes. After graduation, she took a year out where she travelled around Oceania, and lived in Berlin to improve her German language skills. During her PhD, she has specialised in advanced oxidation water treatments, specifically photocatalysis. In her spare time, Caitlin enjoys skiing, watching Question Time and the odd board game.
