Biography

Dr Charlotte Clark obtained her MSci(Hons) in Chemistry at the 糖心原创 in July 2009.

Her post-graduate studies continued at the 糖心原创 with a PhD on "Time-resolved studies of excited states and photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide" under the supervision of Dr Prof. Mike George. Dr Clark was awarded her PhD in July 2014. Following this she then undertook a post-doctoral position in the research group of Dr Elizabeth Gibson, on a project focusing on mechanistic investigations of dye sensitized solar cells and photochemical splitting of water. From 2014-2018 she undertook a post-doctoral position within the research groups of Prof. Mike George and Prof. Martyn Poliakoff with a focus on photochemical reactions and photochemical reactor design/testing. The work on this project involved collaborations with several industrial and academic (both internal and external) partners.

In 2018, she was appointed as a Teaching Associate in Inorganic Chemistry. In 2021 she was promoted to Assistant Professor of Chemistry Education. In 2023 Dr Clark won a Lord Dearing Team Award for outstanding contribution to the enhancement of the student experience, as part of the Chemistry Laboratory Development Group. In 2024, as part of the Chemistry Laboratory Development Group, Dr Clark was awarded the . Alongside her teaching commitments Dr Clark is the co-lead for the School on Safeguarding (with Dr Kyle Galloway being lead for Safeguarding for the Degree Apprenticeship programmes) and is the designated contact point for the School for Disability related issues as Disability Liaison Officer (DLO). She is lead of the Senior Tutor team in Chemistry that overseas the training of personal tutors and coordinate support activities within the School. She is also the School lead for induction for UG programmes and acts as co-coordinator for the peer-mentoring programmes within the School.

Research Summary

Dr Clark is actively involved in chemistry education research and has presented findings at national conferences. Current research areas include:

  • Development of resources to enhance learning of laboratory skills including use of open-source experiment design using low-cost materials/approaches.
  • Development of resources to widen the accessibility of learning Chemistry 路
  • Supporting the transition from School/College to University
  • Exploring the role of peer-assisted learning

In addition, Dr Clark is involved in outreach activities to engage the wider community and raise awareness of chemistry and science. She also leads on a project which offers education placements for students within local secondary Schools/Colleges and within the University.
