BCA Spring meeting

Hamish, Pat and Harry attended the British Crystallographic Association (BCA) Spring Meeting in Leeds, 25-28 March 2024, where a lot of exciting things happened!

Harry gave a talk about his PhD work, entitled “Driving Forces in the Phase Behaviour of MDABCO-based Ferroelectric Perovskites“, and Pat gave a talk about the group’s work on “Investigations of ZIF Crystallisation Mechanisms“.

After organising part of the meeting programme as one of the representatives of the Chemical Crystallography Group (CCG), Hamish was elected to be the Chair of the CCG Committee of the BCA, a post he will hold for the next three years.

Most excitingly, it was announced at the meeting that Pat has won the 2024 CCG-CCDC Prize for Younger Scientists, which is awarded each year “to a younger scientist who has performed original research in the field of chemical crystallography or the application of crystallographic information to structural chemistry”.

Well done on the talks, Harry and Pat, and congratulations Pat on the CCG-CCDC Prize!
