Posted on 10 February 2012

Hannah Moore Keele research student Hannah Moore has been awarded a prestigious Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Travelling Fellowship.

The final year PhD student, who is studying Chemistry (applied to Forensic Entomology), says the award is 'the opportunity of a lifetime' that will allow her to take her research to the USA.

Once her thesis has been submitted, she will travel to the USA for six to eight weeks, starting in Indiana where she will gain invaluable hands on entomological experience with renowned forensic entomologist, Dr Neal Haskell. She then moves to Massachusetts to work with the co-inventor of a new analytical instrument, Direct Analysis in Real Time. 

Her final confirmed visit will be to Oregon to carry out a short project at the US Fish and Wildlife Service Forensic Laboratory. She hopes to round off her trip by presenting her findings to the FBI - but this has yet to be confirmed.
 
The Winston Churchill Trust - established in 1965 in memory of Sir Winston Churchill - awards annual grants to British citizens to travel overseas, enabling them to study areas of interest in order to gain knowledge for the benefit of their profession, community and the UK as a whole.
