Postgraduate Students

 

Michael completed his undergraduate BSc in Physics and Philosophy in 2014 and last year completed a Physics MSc. He is currently looking at on-surface synthesis with particular focus on ncAFM and Ullmann Coupling. 

 

Ian graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2020 with a Chemistry MSci, completing his masters project on studying glass structure using solid-state phosphorus-31 NMR. His current research involves developing new molecular systems encapsulated in carbon nanotubes to study via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), by simultaneously imaging molecules and inducing chemical reactions between them.

Melissa graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a First class Chemistry MChem degree. Her research will aim to understand the extent and impact of plastic pollution on water quality and services using established (e.g. SEM FTIR) and emerging (e.g. 3D ToF-SIMS) analytics.

 Joanne graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2021 with a first class MSci degree in Chemistry. Her fourth-year research project was within the NAMI group, revolving around the synthesis and electrochemical analysis of redox mediators for next generation batteries. Currently, Joanne focuses on additive development for alkali metal batteries and analysis of their solid-electrolyte interface through a variety of imaging techniques, including STM and AFM. 

Mustaqeem graduated from the University of Nottingham with an MSci in Physics in 2021. His current research utilizes a new facility in the Physics department to grow III-VI semiconductors via molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and characterise them in-situ in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions using a wide range of imaging and analysis techniques.
