Excellent symposium organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry in London. Great opportunity to meet several leading Indian and UK Professors and Colleagues.

Heading back to Bristol
After two further exciting days enjoying fantastic weather in Beijing, the beautiful Tsinghua campus and the exceptional hospitality of Prof Xi Zhang, Prof Huaping Xu and many students, it is time to head back. It was a real privilige to meet the team from the RSC journal “Polymer Chemistry” at Tsinghua at their first International Symposium, as well as many German colleagues at a symposium at the National Centre for Nanoscience and Technology close by.
The next visitors from Bristol to Tsinghua will be Feli and Alex in October.
Exciting conference in Xiamen
Today was the last day of a very exciting conference in Xiamen. Great speakers (except for one of them on Saturday morning!), really nice venue (nothing like an early morning jog and swim in the sea!) and a good opportunity to meet up with old friends and colleagues!
More photos to follow!
Charl at the ISACS9 “Challenges in Nanoscience” Symposium in Xiamen
Charl arrived in hot and humid Xiamen last night. The ISACS symposium is held on the University of Xiamen‘s campus, at the Arts and Science Centre. See the photo from his on-campus hotel room of the conference venue!
The symposium starts this evening, with Charl being fortunate enough to speak early on the first full day tomorrow.
Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Charl was invited by Prof Wenping Hu, expert in OFETS and organic electronics, to give a talk today at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing.
It was Charl’s first (hopefully of many) and very enjoyable visit to the Institute. Very impressive place, and many excellent researchers!
Rumman Ahmed visited!
Dr Rumman Ahmed (former FRG member, and joint student with Charl and Ian Manners) visited Bristol at the end of last week. It was great to see him again, on a short holiday from Germany, where he is now working for BASF Coatings in Muenster! Here’s Rumman, looking seriously cool (as always!).
Bristol Balloon Festival!
The annual Bristol Ballon Fiesta, the biggest of its kind in Europe, was held from the 9th – 12th of August. Several members of the FRG attended and enjoyed the spectacular scenes! Enjoy the photos!
James in sunny California!
James has just arrived in Los Angeles, where he will be spending three weeks in the laboratories of one of the FRG’s collaborators, Prof Ric Kaner. James, as part of the exchange between the BCFN and the CNSI, will be spending as much time as possible in the labs at UCLA, and might occasionally go out to enjoy the sunshine! Here some photo’s to prove it!
