Alexander Storey received his MSci in Chemistry from UCL in 2019. His Masters dissertation involved simulation of ion-atom collisions in the femtosecond resolution, in an attempt to describe an unexplained behaviour previously observed experimentally during the collision of certain states of Ar2+ and He. In September 2021, Alex joined the Ionic Liquids for Nanomanufacturing research group as part of UCL Physics, where his work involved the design, simulation, construction and implementation of a Wien filter as a means to separate different ion species in ILIS technology. His research also involved the irradiation of various substrates using ILIS and evaluating their effectiveness compared to existing techniques.
