  • Imogen Key

    Personal details

    Imogen Key MSci Project Student - 2025/26

    Project Description

    Hello, I am Imogen and I am excited to be undertaking an chemistry educational master’s project under Dr.s Laura Patel and Charlotte Sutherell. The project will look at what affords and what bars students access to resources embedded in social structures in the unique educational environment of the lab. We will investigate material contributors, like space, time and language, and immaterial ones: classroom discourse and culture.

    Supervisors: Dr Laura Patel and Dr Charlotte Sutherell

  • Louie Lu

    Personal details

    Louie Lu BSc Project Student - Autumn 2025/26

    Project Description

    I’m an undergraduate chemistry student focusing on chemical education and polymer analysis. My current project involves developing a 15-minute reusable teaching resource centred on gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Through pre- and post-surveys, along with a short knowledge test, I will measure improvements in students’ understanding of GPC and molecular-weight distributions, as well as shifts in their perceptions of the gap between classroom chemistry and its applications in industry and related careers.

  • Ying Chua

    Personal details

    Ying Chua BSc Project Student - Autumn 2025

    Project Description

    I am studying the impact of Hands-On Pre Lab workshop on Y1 students' confidence and self-efficacy. Many Year 1 students feel nervous and lack confidence for their first-year labs. My research studies if students’ self-efficacy will increase after being able to physically familiarize themselves with the apparatus and practice setting up equipment before the lab session. The study will also explore how this workshop can help reduce cognitive load in the lab and increase students’ preparedness before entering the lab for their first synthesis experiment. To collect data, I will by conducting student surveys, student focus groups and interviews with GTAs.
