Leigh-Anne Thomas
Assistant
Leigh-Anne graduated with an MPhys degree in Physics from the University of Bath in 2007 and a PhD for research on acoustic filters in 2011. Leigh-Anne joined Kilburn & Strode LLP in October 2011, specialising in UK and European patent prosecution in the areas of Electronics, IT and Physics. During her undergraduate degree she spent an industrial placement year with Xerox Ltd working on photocopier processes. Leigh-Anne is a first-named inventor on a patent relating to the use of electrostatic charges found within photocopying machines. For her final year project at University, Leigh-Anne studied the absorbing and luminescing states of silicon nanoparticles which sparked an interest in semiconductor physics. Her doctoral research involved fabricating acoustic mirrors and filters. This was done using electrochemical etching techniques to fabricate porous silicon multi-layers which reflected acoustic waves at selected frequencies. These bulk acoustic wave filters were specifically designed for use with devices operating at high frequencies, for example mobile phones. Leigh-Anne has published research material and presented research at international science conferences.
