Louise’s main interests are in luminescence spectroscopy and actinide chemistry, but she also dabbles in lanthanide and d-metal/ organic chemistry in her exploration of two-photon chemistry and up-conversion. Research into actinide chemistry involves exploration of actinyl units (especially the ever-elusive uranyl(V)) and increasing understanding of the fundamental spectroscopic properties of air-sensitive actinide complexes, including uranium mono-oxo species and uranium(IV) chemistry.
Apart from the joy of seeing a nicely resolved emission spectrum, Louise enjoys going to the gym, 24 and (above all) Thursday night pints. |

It's International Women's Day coming up on the 8th March, and a new article has been published about the University of Manchester's "Women of Wonder" campaign. Louise featured in the original campaign! (see previous post here) 24-02-18 Jess and Louise spend a weekend at DCF
Jess and Louise spent the weekend at the Dalton Cumbrian Facility, the University of Manchester's state-of-the-art research base for radiation science and nuclear engineering decommissioning. You can read more about DCF on this blog post. 21-12-17 Toria named as one of the top 25 chemists to follow on Twitter
We're very proud that Toria has been named by Chemical and Engineering News as one of 25 chemists to follow on Twitter. She was the only PhD student on the list, and featured alongside many notable (and Nobel Prize winning!) chemists. You can follow her at @ToriaStafford.
