This week we had lunch together at The Plough to bid farewell to Yiran, who has come to the end of her stay with the group and heads back to Beijing University of Science and Technology to complete her Masters degree.

Pat and Harry presented their work at the Royal Society of Chemistry Solid-State Chemistry Group Christmas meeting, here in Birmingham. Pat gave an oral presentation on his work investigating ZIF-67 crystallisation, and Harry gave a poster about the latest developments to the in-situ electric field cell at beamline I19-2 at Diamond. Well done both!
This month we welcome Yiran Tan, who joins the group for six months as a visiting postgraduate researcher from the University of Science and Technology Beijing. She will be investigating the conversion of metal-organic frameworks to metal oxide materials for catalysis.
Today we had a fantastic group day out with the Seb Pike group from Warwick University, discussing science through presentations and over lunch, and enjoying some more relaxed time going bowling together!
