This month Joe Atherton joins us to start his PhD project on pre-nucleation in MOF formation, and Vicky Akroyd and Matt Bradberry begin their MSci fourth year projects with us. Welcome Joe, Vicky and Matt!
This month we are joined by Harry Lloyd and Aaron Chambers, who will be starting two exciting, collaborative PhD projects in the group!


Harry is studying time-resolved dynamics of framework materials under electric fields on a joint Diamond Light Source PhD studentship. He’ll be co-supervised by Dr Lucy Saunders and Dr Mark Warren from Diamond, where he’ll spend two years getting hands-on at Beamline I19-1!
Aaron is studying the formation and processing of MOF nanoparticle composites as part of a collaboration initiative between the University of Birmingham and BAM, the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin. He’ll be co-supervised by Dr Brian Pauw from BAM, where he’ll visit to perform 3-D printing and in-depth structural characterisation.
Harry Lloyd joins the group as an MSci project student in Birmingham. His project is on structures and physical properties of molecular perovskite materials.
Dom Allen joins the group as an MChem project student in Oxford, jointly supervised with Andrew Goodwin. His project is on structure and phase transitions in molecular perovskites.
Kevin Liang is the recipient of a prestigious Hertford College Summer Research Studentship and joins the group for a summer project on MOF crystallisation. Welcome Kevin!
