Carl contributing to a local mini symposium
Holger Schmalz (from the University of Bayreuth) visited Bristol recently. Carl was one of the local speakers that contributed to the the mini-symposium (with other speakers from the Hall and Manners groups).
Carl gave a great talk on “Functional 3D architectures based on oligo(aniline)s” – well done!
Heidelberg-Kyoto-Bristol Symposium 2015
A “Chemistry and Materials Session” was organised (by Charl) to take place on Friday, 6th of November, as part of the HKB Symposium 2015. With an exciting line-up of speakers, and a poster session at the end of the day it was a great opportunity to learn about local and international science!
The event ended on a high note with a speakers dinner held at the M-Shed Industrial Museum at the harbour side in Bristol.

Talk and posters with Prof. Akagi (Kyoto)
The FRG had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Kazuo Akagi from Kyoto University today. After a beautiful talk about helical poly(acetylene)s, and polymerisations in anisotropic media, the whole group interacted with Prof. Akagi over posters, coffee and pastries!
Kazu then had the chance to catch up with his former PhD supervisor!
Fascinating talk by Jan van Esch!
As Jan was visiting Bristol, he agreed to give a research seminar on some of the latest work from his group. In front of a packed seminar room Jan gave a fascinating talk on “Out-of-equilibrium biomimetic systems by dynamic and dissipative self-assembly”
Jan’s talk led to some lively discussion afterwards!
Success in France!
Ben, Alex and Carl attended the 17th CNRS Colloquium on Anisotropic Self-Organised Systems, held in Autrans in France, 8 – 11 September (with generous support from the Bristol Alumni Foundation – thanks!). They had a great time discussing their science with physicists and chemists, including our close collaborators Olli Ikkala and Patrice Rannou (who also was one of co-organizers).
Finally, we heard recently that Carl won one of six poster prizes! Well done Carl!
Pete’s poster prize!
Peter presented his work at a poster session on Friday evening at ChinaNANO 2015 as part of the BCFN trip to China, and won one of only 22 poster prizes for ALL posters presented at the conference! In a double win for the School of Chemistry, Jason Potticary (from the Hall group), also won a poster prize! Well done!
The BCFN in China … visiting Tsinghua!
Peter is in China with a group of staff and students from the BCFN, including Charl (who organised the trip!). They spent the day at the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, hosted by Professors Xi Zhang, Dongsheng Liu and Assoc Prof Zhongqiang Yang.
In addition to a lunch-time poster session, all students gave talks! Here photos of Pete in action!
Bai’s viva!
Bai, who obtained his undergraduate degree from the College of Chemistry, Jilin University, successfully passed his oral examination (viva) for his MSc earlier this week. He did a great job, impressed the examiners, and, in addition, looked very smart!
Well done Bai! Very well deserved!
Charl talking in Prague … and James winning a poster prize!
James and Charl are in Prague attending the Functional Nanomaterials 2015 conference, held at the Department of Chemistry, Charles University. Charl might have given an invited keynote lecture, but …
James won the second prize for his poster entitled “Two-Dimensional Self-Assembly of Oligo(aniline)s: a Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Study”! Well done James!
