Congratulations to Allan who successfully defended his PhD work and passed his viva with flying colours. His external examiner (Stuart Macgregor) and internal examiner (Marc Reid) both commented on the excellent contribution that Allan had made to the literature in understanding reaction mechanisms and applying density functional theory to challenging organic reactions. Allan’s thesis “Searching […]
Congratulations to Daniela who successfully defended her PhD thesis on 17th July at the ASRC in New York. Daniela is the first student on the joint CUNY/Strathclyde graduate program to complete her PhD. Daniela’s thesis “Minimalistic peptide-based supramolecular systems relevant to the chemical origins of life” was well-received by the examining committee who complimented her […]
Daniela Kroiss’s paper on the discovery of dynamic ATP-peptide complexes has been featured on the inaugural issue of the journal ChemSystemsChem. ChemSystemsChem is an interdisciplinary journal publishing high-impact peer-reviewed research in out-of-equilibrium self-assembly, chemical networks and chemical ensembles with emergent properties, such as movement, communication and collective behaviour, working together in minimal metabolisms, artificial cells and […]
Congratulations to 1st year PhD student Travis Hesketh who was shortlisted as a finalist in Strathclyde’s “Images of Research”. Travis created his own thought provoking image of one of our latest tripeptide projects that demonstrates the ability of these remarkable peptides to form highly organised materials that also structure water through their pores. Travis did […]
