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!!
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
Two chemistry students will carry out their final research projects in the group: Sasha Wilson (MSci) and Ben Martin (BSc). Welcome all, we are very much looking forward to seeing where your research will lead you!
Three chemistry students will carry out their final research projects in the group: Jack Park (MSci), Brent Morris (MSci), Callum Stevens (BSc). In addition to that we welcome Fara Utari who will carry out a Master by Research project with us and with the Cabor Institute for the Environment. Welcome all, we are very much
A strong delegation of Bristol (including Wendy, Stella and Sebastien) travelled to Liverpool where the conference organised by the Leverhulms Research Centre for Functional Material Design took place (At Anfield Stadium of all places!). This was a great experience and a peek into the future of chemistry and materials science. Wendy and Stella presented their
This week Sebastien did the long train trip to Newcastle to participate in the annual conference of the Recent Appointees in Polymer Science (RAPS). A nice occasion to discuss all things polymers and create new contacts with the community in the UK and beyond.
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
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,
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
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
