Emma graduated with an MChem in Chemistry for drug discovery from the University of Bath in 2013, her final year research project looked at the asymmetric hydroboration of β,γ-unsaturated amides and the development of a new NMR technique to determine the enantiomeric excess of chiral diols. In her spare time she enjoys reading, socialising with friends and drinking fine wine.
