[2] She moved to the United States for her graduate studies, where she joined the University at Buffalo as a Fulbright Program fellow.
[5] Vanadium oxide is opaque when hot and transparent when cold, and Whittaker wondered whether it could be used to coat windows and keep buildings cool.
[6] Throughout her doctoral research she worked to lower the transition temperature that this phase change occurs at, and eventually commercialised her technology.
[6] Whittaker-Brooks worked as a postdoctoral scholar with Yueh-Lin Loo, where she used low-temperature hydrothermal methods to study zinc oxide nanostructures.
[2] Whittaker has researched how bias stress and sample heterogeneity impact the performance and operational lifetime of organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs).
