What’s your professional background and how did you come to work at Diamond?

I studied for an MSc in Chemistry at University of Wroclaw, Poland. During this course I gained lots of experience in synthesis of complex organic compounds. To challenge myself I have always wanted to continue my studies abroad, that’s why I started my PhD project based on a collaboration between two institutes: the University of Southampton, and European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble.

What’s your professional background and how did you come to work at Diamond? 

I trained as a solicitor and have a Masters in Legal Practice (MLP). My university and professional backgrounds have exposed me to intellectual property and copyright law, which is what my role as Legal Counsel at Diamond is all about.  

In my home country of Australia, I worked in native title, which is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land rights. I also travelled a lot to Asia and Europe for educational opportunities, including a United Nations internship in Italy. In the UK, I applied for a job at Diamond where I learnt about the synchrotron and about the amazing science that Diamond does.
