I am a Research Development Associate supporting the Faculty of Arts, Law and Social Sciences. I support Early Career Researchers in the faculty apply for research funding.

I am also an independent researcher of Screen Histories. I am currently working on projects on the introduction of colour to Coronation Street and female inventors and innovators of the early cinema industry. From 2015 to 2018 I worked as a post doctoral research associate on the ERC funded project 'The Idea of Animation: Aesthetics, Locality and the Formation of Media.' The project explored the emergence of animation from 1915-1940 in France, the United States and the United Kingdom. Prior to this I was a post doctoral research assistant from 2012 to 2015 on ‘Colour in the 1920s: Cinema and Its Intermedial Contexts’ funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The project sought to examine colour in film during the 1920s within the intermedial context of colour's use in other fields during the decade

My PhD, The Distribution and Exhibition of Kinemacolor in the UK and USA 1909-1916 examined the extent of the process’ infiltration into the UK and USA exhibition markets. It also explored Kinemacolor’s impact on the contemporary exhibition market and on the demand for other colour processes.
