Biography
Celia graduated with First Class Honours and the University Medal in Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney. She worked on an industrial project jointly with Dioxide Pacific, supervised by Associate Professor John Kavanagh, investigating the electrochemical generation of chlorine dioxide for water treatment. After that, she received another First Class Honours and the University Medal in Bachelor of Science from the University of Sydney, working under the supervision of Dr Lauren Macreadie on the negative thermal expansion of metal-organic frameworks.
After completing her undergraduate studies in Sydney, Celia journeyed to the University of Cambridge to start the NanoDTC MRes + PhD program in 2022 as a Cambridge Trust Scholar. She completed her Master’s project jointly supervised by Professor Thomas Bennett and Professor Sian Dutton investigating the hybrid inorganic-organic perovskite glasses. She continued her PhD in the same group in 2023 and joined the Evans group in 2024.
Current Research
Celia joined the PAM group in 2024 as a PhD student jointly supervised by Professor Sian Dutton and Professor Thomas Bennett. Her project focuses on stabilising the active perovskite phases within a hybrid glass matrix. In the PAM group, she will investigate the photoluminescence properties of the hybrid glass-perovskite composites.
