🎉 Cohort 9 student Zichen Zhang attended innoLAE 2026 in Cambridge, presenting his research and discussing electronic materials & devices with the community. Great to see our students sharing their work on the research stage! 👏 Thanks to organisers and supervisors for their support.
Check out the video from our Winter Showcase celebrations 🎥 Created by Schubert Fernandes (Resilient Chemistry, Cohort 1), with insights from our students. Part 1 of 4 below!
Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to and helped make this year’s Winter Showcase such a success. A special congratulations to our prize winners: Talks: 🥇Alexander Sterling; 🥈Toby Maccormack; Posters🥇Katie Gilbert; 🥈Alexander Uner Congratulations! A fantastic showcase of impactful science! 🎉
Day 2 of our annual Winter Showcase is underway, and we’re starting with our first speaker, Michael Meier from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, speaking on the sustainable modification of cellulose to make it a viable thermoplastic. Another great day of science ahead!
Our annual Winter Showcase for 2026 is underway, celebrating our CDT students’ excellent research, supported by our industry collaborators and invited speakers. Check out the day one highlights below!
A huge welcome to our latest cohort of students joining the CDT in Resilient Chemistry - Callum Sinclair-Wright, Chun Yin Kwok (Ryan), Evan Shelton, Joshua Brunt, Luke Williams, Mathew Wheatley, Rebecca Still, Schubert Fernandes, Theodore Lunny and Joshua Leeson. Exciting research ahead!🧪
Christine Paul (Cohort 9) recently attended ISMET9 in Leipzig 🇩🇪, where she delivered an oral presentation on her PhD research into bioelectrochemical recovery of platinum group metals using Cupriavidus metallidurans. ⚡🌍 #ISMET9 #PhDResearch #Bioelectrochemistry
CDT students Adeifeoluwa Jolaosho & William Balkwill-Western recently joined the NAMI battery group & CDT alumnus Ganesh Vailaya at the Faraday Institute Conf 2025. Nobel laureate Stanley Whittingham spoke, & Adeife + Will shared posters on their magnesium battery research. 🔋Nice work!
