Biography
Megan graduated with an MSci degree in Chemistry (First Class, Hons.) at University College London in 2020. Following which she began her doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr Bob C. Schroeder in the Department of Chemistry. Her research project aims to realize the self-healing conjugated polymers for application in bionic skin.

Organic electronics have potential as the semiconducting material in a host of devices such as organic field effect transistors (OFETs), light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaics (OPVs) and thermoelectric generators (OTEGs). Successful design and implementation relies on optimizing the chemical structure for the desired application.
Megan's research has focused on synthesis and characterization of novel conjugated polymers that employ self-healing and self-doping mechanisms for use in OFETs and OTEGs respectively. Experience in polymer characterization includes bulk techniques such as TGA, DSC, DMA and SEC as well as surface morphology via AFM.
