Luke Parker
TNO
Dr Luke Parker is a Senior Scientist at TNO, the Dutch Institute for Applied Natural Sciences Research. He did his PhD at Cardiff University in the group of Prof. Graham Hutchings investigating the design of novel nanoalloy catalysts for hydrogen production through ammonia decomposition. Afterwards he moved to Utrecht University and the group of Prof. Bert Weckhuysen where he worked as a postdoc focusing on on nanomaterial synthesis and characterization using micro-spectroscopic methods such as electron microscopy and confocal fluorescence microscopy. In August 2021, he moved to TNO where he currently leads research into microplastics with the aims of improving measurement and detection techniques, understanding their formation and developing mitigation strategies.
