He will work with Ken Yamamoto who has previously worked in the Sonochemistry Group at Coventry University and has published papers with Tim Mason.
In June Tim will be delivering a plenary lecture in Caparica Portugal during the 2nd International Conference on Ultrasonic-Based Applications. His subject will be “Sonochemistry – from the beginning”
