Rebecca first joined the group in October 2025 for her MSci research project, in the final year of her undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. After graduating with a First-Class degree, she enjoyed her MSci research project so much she returned to begin her PhD in October 2026 continuing this work.
In her spare time, Rebecca is a competitive swimmer, regularly competing at a national level. She is a long-standing committee member of Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club, currently holding a position in Alumni Communications. Rebecca also is a keen rower, having rowed in many sets of Bumps for her college.
Current Research
Rebecca’s MSci research project looked at analysing the entrapment and release kinetics of light-responsive cubosomes for targeted drug delivery. Her PhD will continue this but also focus on incorporating chromophores into cubosomes for triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC).
