Henry successfully defended his PhD viva on 20th March 2019 and graduated in the Summer of 2019.

Biography

Henry was awarded an Academic Scholarship to the University of Warwick in 2009 and completed his MChem degree there in 2013, graduating with an upper second class degree. He has spent three years in the Birmingham University Officer’s Training Corps. He was also president of the University of Warwick Triathlon Club in 2011. Henry is currently in the final year of his PhD in the MAS CDT.

Research Interests

Henry’s research involved the preparation and investigation of highly engineered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with precision engineered surfaces for use as positive MRI contrast agents and is also developing targeted agents. He was co-supervised by Prof. Charles Hutchinson, and regularly visits University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire and Rugby’s St. Cross Hospital to analyse his samples using clinical MRI.
