Excited to announce Basiram and Dr. Baker‘s latest openly accessible article in Adv. Mater. entitled “Selective CO2 electroreduction from tuneable naphthalene-based porous polyimide networks” detailing exciting new metal-free materials for CO2 capture & reduction.
New paper authored by Ciqun Xu in collaboration with J. Rossiter and the Soft Robotics Research Group in Advanced Functional Materials demonstrating multiple applications of novel electric field-driven dielectrophoretic elastomer actuators.
The Faul Group is inviting potential candidates to contact Professor Faul with two letters of reference and a CV to explore the application for a Newton International Fellowship.
Please check the link above for details and eligibility criteria.
Deadline: 28th March 2023.
Congratulations from all of the Faul Group to Nouf Zaghloul who passed her PhD viva on 26th January. Her research featured novel contributions to science concerning scribe-on: writing wearable, flexible and stretchable electronics with polyaniline.
She leaves the group to continue in scientific research at the University of Bath. Best of luck.
Thank you to Dr Shirin Alexander of Swansea University for her time in the process.

Slightly late welcome to the Faul Group’s newest undergraduate starters this year.
From left to right: Miles (working with CMPs for waste water treatment), Julia (soft actuation), Anna (metallo-supramolecular polymer assembly) and Lewis (adhesives for soft actuation).
We are looking for a world-class materials chemist with a high degree of innovative spirit and enthusiasm to operate at the very cutting edge of materials synthesis and preparation for robotics and healthcare research. You will join a vibrant and exciting research project led by the University of Bristol with partners University College London, Imperial College London and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and will work with 20 leading professors and clinicians and a team of 17 research and technical staff across multiple disciplines including soft robotics, materials engineering, tissue and bioengineering, bio-interfacing, synthetic biology and surgery.
The position will be based in the Faul Research Group, within the School of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science. You will have access to world-class infrastructure and facilities within the School of Chemistry (NMR, MS, Chemical Imaging Suite (EM/AFM), X-ray). The successful candidate will work closely with Faul Research Group members working on related soft robotics project, as well as project partners in the Biomaterials Engineering group (bioMEG)), the Bristol Soft Robotics Laboratories and the Faculties of Engineering and Life Sciences.
