Jamie M. Purkis is a Research Fellow in Nuclear Decommissioning with the TRANSCEND Consortium (TRANsformative SCience and Engineering for Nuclear Decommissioning) working with Profs. Andy Cundy and Phil Warwick to novel electrochemical methods for the remediation of radioactively contaminated land.

Prior to this he was a postgraduate researcher with Profs. Polly Arnold FRS OBE and Jason Love at the University of Edinburgh, and Dr. Jonathan Austin of the National Nuclear Laboratory, UK, exploring novel approaches to the photochemical reactivity of the uranyl ion. He obtained his Masters Degree in Chemistry at the University of Southampton, UK, in 2015 with Prof. Gill Reid FRSC and Dr. David C. Pugh, studying macrocyclic complexes of Group 2 dications.
