SUPERVISION AND TEACHING SUMMARy
Analytical Chemistry, Microfluids, Instrument Design.
Professor Breadmore has taught at the interface of chemistry and engineering for over 10 years, and in pure and applied analytical chemistry with a focus on electrophoresis and microfluidics. He has a keen interest in inter-disciplinary teaching, particularly assessment and how this is influenced by discipline conventions, as well as exploiting these conventions in unconventional disciplines.
Professor Breadmore has graduated 46 PhD students. All students work as part of a dynamic team with a focus on fundamental and applied analytical chemistry that is of relevance to an issue of international significance. There are always vacancies in the group for highly talented and motivated students keen to make a difference in the world through their research.
