Advanced rheometry for neutron and x-ray science: Core Group member, member of WG2 – Material development and processing and WG3 – Education and outreach, LINXS Fellow
Postdoctoral Researcher at the Division of Glycoscience, KTH Royal Institute of Technology , Sweden.
Marjorie is a postdoctoral researcher at KTH working on cell bran. Ozriginally a Food Technologist working in Industry, she sought to broaden my horizons and pursued first an MSc in Food Science, and then a PhD also in Food Science, both at the University of Leeds UK. Her PhD focused on the crystallisation of cocoa butter primarily using X-ray scattering, NMR relaxometry, and DSC.
Her interest in X-rays led to a first postdoc/research position at Stockholms Universitet working on supercooled water and amorphous ices using X-ray scattering and XPCS techniques. Once more, X-rays led the way to her next position here at KTH where she is part of the glycoscience group and she is applying her X-ray knowledge, while learning some Biochemical tools.
