Eleanor graduated with an MEng in Materials Science and Engineering from Queen Mary, University of London in 2017. During her undergraduate degree she undertook an industrial placement at TE Connectivity, where she worked on the optimisation of an aluminium anodising process for aerospace applications. For her Masters project she worked on novel materials for solar water splitting. Eleanor’s main area of interest for research is sustainable energy materials. In her spare time Eleanor enjoys a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, skiing and kayaking, as well as playing the saxophone and singing.
