We welcome Valentina Walls and Oliver Rawlings to the group to carry out their fourth-year MSci research projects. Valentina will be investigating the metastable intermediates in ZIF synthesis, while Oliver will be devising ways to test the robustness of MOF synthesis.

Today Sophie and Hannah submitted their MSci project reports, and we celebrated with a meal at Kimchi in Selly Oak. Well done both of you!

This month we are joined by Matthew Liddle and Samuel Gale, who will be carrying out their Masters research projects with the group. Matt’s project is looking at phase behaviour of a carboxyphosphonate MOF, BIRM-1, which has potential use in ion exchange and transport. Sam’s project is investigating relationships between the physical properties of hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics and their structural chemistry.
Both Sam and Matt also have a second co-supervisor, Prof Paul Anderson, as well as his PhD student Joe Barker, who joins us as an honorary group member involved in day-to-day supervision of the projects.
Welcome, Sam, Matt and Joe!
