Robert Lloyd
About Me:
I have a passion for lifelong learning. I became a scientist in 2022 following a career in something completely different. I completed science qualifications (a degree and a Masters) with the Open University while working, and I have a degree in Business Studies. I have volunteered in the past with the Museum of Science and Industry, an NHS hospital, The Access Project, and I have been part of a team that engages with work experience students at my place of work.
I am married and I live in Burton-on-Trent, although I am originally from Buxton. I have a step-daughter and a granddaughter, and I love spending time with them.
I do lots of running in my spare time because I like to be out and about, and I am a licensed England Athletics endurance coach. I like going to gigs, and over the last few months I have seen The Prodigy, Unkle, Linkin Park, Oasis, The Charlatans, and Imagine Dragons.

Jianhong(Sandy) Sun
About Me:
Hi there! I’m a second-year PhD student at the University of Bath. Being a PhD student is a little different from regular school because I don’t attend lectures or take exams. Instead, I spend my time researching exciting topics as part of my PhD project! My research is about supply chain challenges in cutting-edge industries, like cultivated meat (you might have heard it called lab-grown meat). I’m also part of a big project called cellular agriculture , where I work alongside brilliant scientists and researchers from different fields.
I live in Bath with my family, including my 9-year-old daughter. When I’m not working, I love traveling and drinking black coffee. I’m a SCA certified home brewer and barista, so I always start my day with a great cup of black coffee !
