Dr Clara Barker chats with other scientists: Recent Episodes

Dr Clara M Barker

Hi, I'm Dr Clara Barker and I am a material scientist at Oxford University. I am also a campaigner for improved diversity and equity in STEMM and academia.

In these chats, I speak with awesome scientists about their field, and also discuss equity in STEMM with them.

In this video I chat biochemical engineering with Dr Jessica Boland, UKRI Future Leader Fellow and Lecturer of Functional Materials and Devices in the Materials and Devices Division in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Manchester. Her current research focuses on combining ultrafast optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy with scanning near-field optical microscopy to provide a unique tool for examining the ultrafast carrier dynamics of III-V nanostructures, 2D materials and topolocial insulators with femtosecond temporal resolution, nanometre spatial resolution and surface-sensitivity. follow Jessica on Twitter: @DrJessBoland orher group Twitter: @allthingsTHz
