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!
On 1 August 2024, Hamish was promoted to Associate Professor in Materials Chemistry!
This weekend we took our new hands-on outreach activities to CoCoMAD festival and it was a roaring success!
We had mineral specimens from the Lapworth museum, a growing ‘magic’ crystal tree, jigsaw puzzle nucleation, magnetic tile crystals, The Nucleation Game with live music and a giant interactive crystal that everyone got involved in helping to grow.
More information about the activities, including those you can do at home, can be found on our Outreach page.
Thanks to CoCoMAD for having us, to the CCDC and RSC for funding, to our musicians Pablo Sonnaillon and Tanguy Pocquet, to all our volunteers (Georgia, Thomas, Pat, Yomi, Sophie and Titas) and especially to our undergraduate summer interns Alice and Keyuan for developing all the activities and materials especially for the event!
