Stephen graduated with an MChem in Chemistry with a Year in Industry from the University of Leicester in 2012. His year in industry was spent with a major chemical distribution company doing analytical/quality control work. His final year project was based on reclaiming rare earth metals from supermagnet alloys using electrochemical methods in ionic liquid solvents. In his spare time, he plays trombone and piano, as well as conducting one of the university’s ensembles.
