About
Troy joined the Matt Rosseinsky’s group as a Research Coordinator in 2012, having previously worked for seven years at Pilkington/NSG as a Senior Technologist in the Thin Films Technology team. Prior to that Troy worked for two years in the labs of Prof Helen Aspinall and Prof Tony Jones at the University of Liverpool developing new ALD precursors for high-k dielectric films. His expertise is in inorganic synthesis and characterisation, especially as thin films (APCVD, AACVD, spray pyrolysis, flame pyrolysis, PLD).
After roles in industry and secondary education, Troy obtained a First Class BSc in Chemistry from Birkbeck College London in 2000, then a PhD with Prof Ivan Parkin at University College London in 2004.
Troy looks after the Thin Film and parts of the Solid-State Chemistry and Catalysis teams in the Rosseinsky group, and is particularly involved in activities around high-throughput and automated synthesis. Troy's main tasks involve project management and supervision postgraduate students and supporting PDRA research projects, as well as supervising undergraduate project students assigned to the group. He is particularly involved in the projects with industrial collaborators.
