Royce summer intern interview with ex-Faul Group member Jerry Mintah

Jerry Mintah, a Royce Summer Intern, shares his experience of working with the Faul Research Group in an interview with Dr. George Miller, the Royce Student Engagement Manager. During the eight-week internship, Jerry worked alongside his mentor, Basiram Brahma Narzary, and supervisor, Professor Charl F. J. Faul.

Jerry’s Royce Summer Internship project was focused on porous polyimide networks for CO2 capture and conversion. The project has the potential to significantly contribute to industrial decarbonisation and combat the urgent climate crisis brought about by global warming.

Jerry was also co-author on a recent paper from the Faul Group, which was featured on the inside front cover of the RSC journal Materials Chemistry Frontiers.

Faul Group at Future Materials Conference 2023, Valencia, Spain

Some Faul Group members invited to speak about their work at the 4th International Conference on Materials Science & Nanotechnology last week.

The conference aims to provide an international platform to discuss emerging trends and advancement in the research and development of various classes of materials and is divided into four major themes: (i) Future Biomaterials-Biomedical, Medicine and Other Applications; (ii) Future Materials for Energy and Sustainability; (iii) Materials for Electronics, Optics, and Photonics; and (iv) Nanomaterials.

#RSCPoster Twitter Conference

#RSCPoster is a global Twitter poster conference taking place entirely online over the course of a day. The event aims to bring together the global chemistry community allowing for interaction with chemists and researchers at various career stages. This year (2022), the Faul Group presents two posters from both Safa and Ulzhalgas, highlighting their work within the functional porous polymer field (see below).

Commonwealth Chemistry Posters submission

Great efforts by group member Basiram on his successful submission to this years’ 2nd Commonwealth Chemistry Posters exhibition. This is a virtual event that allows for collaboration, discussion and engagement with other chemists from across the Commonwealth working on problems that address Sustainable Development Goals.

Basiram’s poster covers his work on “Tuneable Naphthalene-Based Microporous Polyimide Networks for CO2 Capture and Conversion” and is a fantastic summary of his research. Available to view here.
