Rachel Schwartz-Narbonne

During Rachel's undergraduate at the University of Ottawa (Canada), she worked on green chemistry methods to produce nanoparticles. During her PhD at the University of Western Ontario (Canada), Rachel used carbon and nitrogen isotopes to understand the ecology of Pleistocene megafauna, such as the woolly mammoth. Rachel's post-doc at Newcastle University (UK) used lipid biomarkers to investigate the nitrogen cycle through time, from the present going back to the Jurassic. @pgrcomputingshu Here at Hallam, Rachel is bringing her love of the environment and chemistry background to teach a range of biology and chemistry subjects, as well as to her research career using lipid biomarkers to study nitrogen cycle and methane cycle bacteria in natural and applied settings.
