Are you interested in joining a multidisciplinary research group in one of the UK’s leading chemistry departments (in the very vibrant city Bristol – see this incredible video!) to do a PhD, or a one-year Masters by Research? A number of possibilities exist in exciting project areas, including:

  • CO2 capture and storage,
  • functional electroactive materials for use in novel LC’s, 3D printing and energy storage applications
  • novel complex hierarchical materials

If you are interested in any of these areas, please see our “Positions” page for details on how to apply.

Long-standing collaborators, Prof Olli Ikkala and Dr Nikolay Houbenov from the Molecular Materials Group at Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland), visited the FRG on Thursday and Friday. In order to welcome them, and all the new arrivals in the Faul and Hall groups, we went to the White Bear!

James and Piotr, both BCFN-funded students, presented at the BCFN’s annual student conference.  As a senior PhD student in the current BCFN student cohorts, James gave an (excellent!) talk. Piotr presented a poster on his latest results!

Yaozu gave an excellent talk on some of his recent results at the first mini-symposium on the I&M Chemistry section programme for the new academic year! Here Yaozu is thinking hard before answering a question!

A great opportunity to provide an overview of Charl’s collaborative efforts over the past decade, and to thank many colleagues who contributed to the far-reaching ionic self-assembly approach!
