Porous materials and crystallography. Currently postdocing at University of Oregon, United States, and Uppsala University, Sweden.
I am incredibly honored to recieve this prize! Greatly looking forward to attending @iucr2026.bsky.social - I have many people to thank for all the learning and exciting research over these past years. First and foremost though, is my crystallography mentor and great friend @keninge.bsky.social
Registration for the 11th European Crystallography School (ECS11) is now open! Topics: single crystal XRD, powder XRD and 3D electron diffraction. Details can be found at ecs11.org and registration at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F.... We hope to see you in Stockholm!
Registration for the 11th ECA crystallography school is now open! It will be held in Stockholm on the 28th of June to the 4th of July and will give practical experience of solving and refining data from both powder, single crystal and electron diffraction. www.ecs11.org forms.gle/ckyFQoNqRd7d...

Nobel Day is here! The work on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025. Research on MOFs has been going on at Stockholm University for twenty years. Read more about our basic research on MOFs aiming for future solutions. #NobelPrize www.su.se/english/news...
And another one is out: a crystallographic and fundamental solid-state study of size-dependent properties in porous materials. A fun adventure that required quite a bit of coding - learned a lot in the process! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Crystallographic Evidence of Size-Dependent Bond Flexibility in Metal–Organic Framework Nanocrystals
Size-dependent electronic, magnetic, and optical behavior suggests that metal–organic frameworks become softer materials as their particle sizes decrease, but direct evidence is lacking. Here, we rep...

The more I reflect on the damage the AI bubble could wreak when it bursts, the angrier I get at the credulousness that has inflated it. Especially in the media, and especially the tech media, which often seems like an industry PR machine. My lastest column. www.thenewworld.co.uk/philip-ball-...
AI is a bubble that is going to burst
The industry has fostered a cult of personality that seems to leave the tech press starstruck and unquestioning of nonsensical claims
