Leyorla Ohene-Yeboah

Leyorla graduated from the University of Southampton with a Masters degree in Chemistry. For her placement year, she spent some time at Abbott Diabetes Care, fabricating and testing prototypes of medical devices in Oxfordshire. For her final year project, she used sampled current voltammetry to probe the oxygen reduction reaction in an effort to further understand the kinetics behind the reaction. Leyorla loves to be as idle as possible in her spare time, but if not, she likes to crotchet, read and bake whenever she has the time.
