As we enter the year of the Dragin, the dragons (electrodes) are already roaring in our photoelectrochemical cells, and already bring great fortune to strengthen the group:Two new postdocs join the group!
Cassie (top) joins us after completing her industry-based PhD on the GSK/Strathclyde PhD programme, under the supervision of Prof. John Murphy (following in Dr. Barham's footsteps, so to say!). She brings valuable expertise in radical chemistry and flow chemistry, and will be working on methodology for post-modification of pharma-relevant molecules using 'forgotten' reactivity, driven by photochemistry.
Boya (bottom) joins us with a Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC) Scholarship, having completed an initial postdoc stint at RWTH Aachen. Having graduated with his PhD from Sichuan University, he brings key expertise in transition metal-catalyzed processes for strong bond cleavages - particularly relevant given our group's recent Chem. Soc. Rev. review! Boya will be working on photoelectrochemical methodology for strong bond activations.
