Annabel Flook

Developing new methods for monitoring ultra-fast reaction kinetics

Personal

Annabel received her MChem from the University of Bath in 2022. During this time, she carried out research on the kinetics of aziridine acylation with Dr Dave Carbery and Dr John Lowe. Between her Master’s and beginning her PhD in the Lloyd-Jones Group, she worked as a data analyst at Budweiser Brewing Group.

Outside of the lab, Annabel enjoys playing piano and, when she has time, exploring the country in her van.
