Dr Cate O'Brien
Biography and previous work
I am currently undertaking my PhD, which I commenced in 2016 after completing a Master's in Chemistry at the University of Sheffield.
Current Work
Microfocus SAXS for Millifluidic Extensional Flow: Enabling New Paradigms in Polymer Processing.
My current PhD work focuses on the design and production of a millilfluidic device for in-situ SAXS measurements. This device will employ both shear and elongational flow to enable new paradigms for polymer processing.
Personal interests
To relax from my studies, I enjoy watching films and being a projectionist at Sheffield Students’ Union cinema, as well as reading many books.
