Congratulations to Ellie Tanaka who won a poster prize at the recent Japan-UK symposium on Coordination Chemistry held in St Andrews. Ellie is a postgraduate student in Professor Neil Robertson's group.
Qingshu Zheng from Dr Scott Cockroft's group was also awarded a poster prize.
The 2015 “Molecular Movie” article in the journal Phys. Rev. Lett. by scientists at Brown University, Stanford and University of Edinburgh has been highlighted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) as one of the main scientific breakthroughs to come out of a National Laboratory over the past 75 years.
Congratualtions to Jamie Purkis, a PhD student in the Love/Arnold group, who won first prize at the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority PhD Seminar, held in Manchester in January.
Jamie won for his talk entitled "Polyoxo Actinide Chemistry". The research is funded by the National Nuclear Laboratory as part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's PhD bursary scheme and Jamie would like to thank them for their involvement.
Well done Jamie!
Congratulations to Alex Elmi from Dr Scott Cockroft's group on winning the Nature Chemistry poster prize at the RSC Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (MASC) Early Career Researchers' meeting.
The meeting was held today at the University of Southampton. Alex's poster presentation was on solvent effects in aromatic stacking interactions.
Professor Polly Arnold is the recipient of this year's Chancellor's Award for Research.
The award recognises her exceptional work in the chemistry of bonding and reactivity in new compounds.
Established in 2003, the Chancellor’s Awards now reward staff in four categories for teaching, research, impact and showing great potential in early career research. The awards were given at a gala dinner at the Palace of Holyrood House.
Jenn Ross, an EastBIO PhD student in the Clarke Group won the poster prize at the recent Scottish Microscopy Group Symposium for her work characterising bacterial encapsulins by electron microscopy and mass spectrometry.
Well done Jenn!
