Luke completed his B.A in Natural Sciences specialising in Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin in 2016. In his final year of study he worked under Dr. Robert Baker looking at bimetallic catalyst synthesis. Following on from this, he went onto completing an MSc in Chemical Engineering with the University of Leeds in 2017, working under Dr. Bao Nguyen on a lab scale batch photochemical reactor. Luke is currently in his second year of his PhD at Leeds under the supervision of Prof. John Blacker, Dr. Richard Bourne, Dr. Thomas Chamberlain, Prof. Nik Kapur and Dr. Bao Nguyen. His research is focused on investigating a predictive platform for continuous selective extraction of acid and amines.
