Welcome to two undergraduate students, who join the group over the summer: Frank Nightingale and Anisha Bahl, who’ll be working on fundamentals of MOF formation and development of public engagement activities, respectively. They’ve already been hard at work, in the lab, on the 3D printer, making crystallographic models and more…!

We’ve secured a grant from Oxford Chemistry’s Public Engagement with Research funds for a paid 6-week* summer project on “Flexible, functional framework materials”. It will involve building interactive models to demonstrate how the crystal structures of materials influence their properties and producing information cards and a short online video about them. Suitable candidates should be undergraduate students with an interest in materials, crystallography and of course public engagement!
In other news, our other summer project, on metal-organic framework formation, is still available! If you’re an undergraduate student interested in functional materials, crystallisation and chemical kinetics this could be for you!
For both the projects above, please send a CV and short statement of interest to Hamish by Sun 22 April. Informal interviews will be held at the beginning of Trinity Term.
*Amended from original version: duration will be 6 weeks.
We have guaranteed funding for at least one 6-8 week summer project in 2018 here in Oxford and the possibility to apply for more! Prospective students should be a current undergraduate in Chemistry or a related discipline and show interest in one or more of these topics: chemical kinetics, crystallisation, metal-organic frameworks, X-ray diffraction and in-situ measurements. Deadlines for other funding sources occur early in 2018 so please contact Hamish if interested.
The group now has a Facebook page! It can be found here:

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been awarded a grant from the SCG Innovation Fund for the investigation of metal-organic framework formation!
The grant includes funding for a paid 8-week summer project in 2018: applicants should be in the first 3 years of their undergraduate studies and have an interest in MOFs, electrochemistry, crystallography and/or chemical kinetics. Please contact Hamish to apply or for more details.
