James obtained his PhD at the University of Sheffield (principal supervisor Dr. Marco Conte) researching the synthesis and application of shape-selective alkane oxidation metal oxide catalysts for the fine chemicals industry. After a PGCE at Newcastle University, James was a research fellow at Northumbria University under the supervision of Prof. Matt Unthank and Prof. Justin Perry. At Northumbria University, James has conducted projects in surface chemistry, sustainability and materials science funded by TransFIRe and Northern Accelerator. As a Research fellow, James independently obtained funding from the TFI Network+ and the Henry Royce Industry Collaboration Program to research surface functionalisation for waste valorisation. In Febuary 2024, James was appointed to a permanent lectureship to continue his work in waste valorisation, and to deliver chemistry teaching to forensic science undergraduates.
