Research

Welcome! We are a research group based at the University of Bristol (UK), engaged in a variety of projects related to energy conversion and storage, new materials discovery and stimuli-responsive, adaptive materials. Our expertise covers data science, materials chemistry and engineering, and since the Covid pandemic, we also venture into computational methods to bring a theoretical aspect to our research endeavours.

Meet the team! We are a cross-disciplinary group based at the School of Chemistry, at the School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, and at the Bristol Composites Institute, and we collaborate very closely with other research groups across the University of Bristol (and beyond).

Anna passes her viva

On the 26 January Anna became the first PhD graduate from the group! She passed her viva, with Dr Asel Sartbaeva from the University of Bath and Prof Charl Faul from Bristol as examiners. Congratulations!!

New group members to start 2024

Happy New Year everyone! This will be a great year with many graduations on the cards! But for now we welcome new members Marc del Olmo Garcia (rotation project for the Technology-Enhanced Chemical Synthesis CDT), George Worden (PhD student from the Composites CDT), and Guofan Xu (PhD student in Aerospace Engineering). We are excited to

New group members

To start 2022 we borrow a leaf from the business world and announce a merger! Following the departure of my fellow Fellow Dr Pierangelo Gobbo to continue his career in Italy, his current group members staying in Bristol will join our ONE team. This means a new research direction and a lots of expertise in

New undergraduate and postgraduate students join the group

Three chemistry students will carry out their final research projects in the group: Stephanie Hall (MSci), Josh Pepper (MSci), Honor Westlake (BSc). In addition to that we welcome two postgraduate students affiliated with the Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials (Secil Yildiz and Soorya Kartheesan) who will carry out short research projects with us. Welcome all,

Shortened conference season

The advantage of online conferences is that they can be accessible without lenghty travels and absences from home… their disadvantage is that they are, well, online, and the whole part about impromptu discussions over coffee is missing. Nevertheless Sebastien participated at two conferences recently, the Fall Meeting of the ACS, and the annual meeting of

Congratulations to new graduates!

It’s been quite a year… but Millie and Harry have successfully completed their degree and they deserve the warmest congratulations- the in-person graduation is currently planned for the Spring of 2022, so hopefully this will be a chance to finally meet in person after having carried out their final year project entirely online. In the
