Postgraduate Students

 

Joe is probing depositions of a photosynthetic analogue on crystal lattices using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) or ambient pressure while exposed to varying wavelengths of light.

Ryan graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2017 with a Chemistry MSci and went on to join the LDMI DTP later that year. His research focuses on the self-assembly of block copolymers to form nanostructured materials.

Catherine studied her undergraduate here at Nottingham with her master's project completed in the Amabilino group studying chiral chromophores for organic solar cells based on small organic molecules. Now she is working towards her PhD in the same group that she undertook her masters researching tailored heteroepitaxy of nanostructured thin films for de novo organic electronic devices under stress.

 Ellie is working on walking molecules on two-dimensional functionalised surfaces: using supramolecular chemistry to controll motion.

 Letizia did her MSc degree (October 2018) in the University of Messina (Italy) in the Department of Chemistry. Her LDMI project is focused on nanomaterials synthesis and particularly on characterization of advanced materials with application in different technological fields.

Ferdinando studied Chemistry at the University of Messina where he worked at the synthesis of calix[4]pyrrole for supramolecular study and biological application. He got his masters degree in December 2017. His current work is focused on the synthesis of new molecules to store energy, with particular interest in surface chemistry.

Tyler completed his undergraduate at the University of Nottingham, and received a First class Physics with Nanoscience MSci degree. Tyler's research currently includes characterising the surfaces of MBE-grown samples of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on graphite using scanning probe microscopy and attempting to connect carbon nanotube contacts to surface features for electrical measurements.
