She moved to the Loughborough University, where she completed a PhD on the crystal structures of organic and inorganic systems.
[3] She demonstrated how useful single cyrstal X-ray measurements were to better understand the structures of organic and inorganic solid-state systems.
Her lab have sophisticated fully automated instrumentation for X-Ray Diffraction, including two rotating anodes and sensitive detectors.
