Last week was a busy week, with talks from our undergraduate project students Rachel, Steffan and Nick (and a celebration lunch in Cosmo afterwards!).
In addition, Prof. Julius Vancso (Twente University, the Netherlands) also visited the School of Chemistry. Peter from the FRG gave a great talk as part of the preceding mini-symposium before Prof Vancso’s fascinating talk!
Well done to all from the FRG!
Charl was invited to speak at the 11th Electromaterials Science Conference (this year held at Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia).
There is an exciting line-up of speakers, including Prof. Ric Kaner (UCLA) and Prof. Frank Marken (Bath). Prof Maria Forsyth, who chairs this meeting, visited the FRG in July last year.
if you are from Indonesia, and interested to join the FRG, then please consider applying for either a Masters’ or a PhD scholarship from the Indonesian Endowment Fund for Education (known as LPDP scholarships).
Deadlines for applications to the LPDP are 15th of April, 15th of July, and the 14th of October. Please contact Professor Faul if you are interested in applying.
If you are interested in applying to join the FRG as post-doc, a call for Newton Fellowships has recently opened. These prestigious fellowships provide support for relocating in the first year of the fellowship, full salary and research expenses.
Please read the Scheme Notes carefully to check if you are eligible to apply before contacting Professor Faul with an outline proposal.
Please note: the University of Bristol’s internal deadline is the 2nd of March!
Sadiyah and Tom, PhD students with the BCFN, are joining the FRG for a three-month project. They will be working with Peter, Liam and Charlie on producing some novel field-effect transistors!
Welcome!
Peter and Dicker both attended the MRS meeting in Boston. Here they are in action at their respective poster sessions … deep in discussion!
Yumeng successfully completed her viva as the final stage of her Masters by Research degree! She will be heading back to China soon … but congratulations are in order before she does! Well done Yumeng!
Members of the FRG (who were in Bristol, and not at the MRS meeting in Boston!), joined in the FRG Christmas celebrations! Excellent cakes were prepared (and enjoyed!), and some fantastic presents were shared! See the photos for more details!
Geri, an honorary FRG group member who still kept close contact with the group (and still published a very nice paper earlier this year), came to say goodbye.
Geri received a prestigious JSPS post-doctoral fellowship, and will be working in the Supermolecules Group, with Prof Arigo and Dr Hill at MANA/NIMS, Tsukuba, Japan for 2 years! Good luck!
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!
