Congratulations to Dr Chris Idziak who passed is PhD viva examination today with Dr. Jamie Platts (Cardiff) and Prof. Pete Skabara (Strathclyde). During his PhD studies, Chris applied Density Functional Theory to further the understanding of organic reactivity, with contributions to the areas of super electrophiles and the role of solvent in modifying Ir deuteration catalysts. We […]
Congratulations to our final year students Allan Young (MSci), Amy Romaniuk (MSci), Jessica Padden (BSc Hons) and Sarah Christmas (BSc Hons), who all graduated today! Best wishes for the future from all of us in the group! A special mention this year goes to Allan Young who won the ICI Chemical and Polymers Group Andersonian Centenary […]
Congratulations to Dr Pim Frederix who passed is PhD viva examination today with an excellent viva. During his PhD studies, Pim practised a number of experimental and theoretical techniques in order to gain a strong insight into the self-assembly structures and mechanisms of peptide-based materials. Pim was our first student to take on the joint […]
Congratulations and farewell to Dr Bhaskar Mondal, who has completed a Post-Doctoral position after 3 years with the group! Bhaskar worked on a number of different projects, primarily in the field of organic and organometallic reactivity, including 2 papers on Ir-catalysed deuterations, 1 paper on stereoselective deprotonation using magnesium bisamides, 1 paper on photolysis reactions, 1 paper […]
