Cameron is a PhD researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield, supervised by Dr Brant Walkley and Professor John Provis, and is a member of the Sustainable Materials at Sheffield research team. Cameron obtained his Masters degree in General Engineering specialising in Aerospace from the University of Sheffield. It was in his final year that he undertook a material science based project that focused on the development of ceramic capacitors for Aerospace applications. During this time, he gained an interest in research which led him to studying a PhD. Cameron’s research focuses on understanding the cement-superplasticiser interactions in geopolymer encapsulants for safe disposal of radioactive waste. His PhD is funded by an EPSRC DTP and a Sellafield Ltd. scholarship.
