School of Chemistry Colloquium: Dr Antonia Mey (University of Edinburgh)

Proteins drive most biological processes. Understanding how proteins function and how they interact with other molecules is essential for us to comprehend life and aids in regulating diseases. One way to regulate protein function is through small molecules that interact with proteins to inhibit their activity. However, discovering new molecules and efficient methods to predict…Purdie Building14:00 PM to 15:00 PM

School of Chemistry Colloquium: Dr Yang Xu (UCL)

Developing alternative energy storage technologies beyond lithium has become a prom¬inent slice of global energy research portfolio, shaping future electrified mobility, the utilization of renewable energies, and large-scale stationary energy storage. Na-ion batteries (NIBs) are receiving global attention in recent years due to the announcement of commercializing products by some of the largest NIB manufactures…Purdie Building16:00 PM to 17:00 PM

School of Chemistry Colloquium: Dr Andreas Meyer (University of Gottingen)

About five years ago, we have introduced 19F electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) as a spectroscopic technique to measure biomolecular distances on the order of 0.7 — 1.5 nm in paramagnetic systems at 3.4 T. Since then, we and others have presented various methodical or application-oriented studies of this spectroscopic technique. The first part of…Purdie Building14:00 PM to 15:00 PM

School of Chemistry Colloquium: Prof. Sir Richard Catlow

The concerted use of synchrotron, neutron and modelling techniques has proved to be a powerful approach in probing catalytic structures and processes at the molecular level. We will illustrate the approach by recent applications to a range of systems including: * Hydrocarbon dynamics and reactivity in microporous catalysts, where we will describe how the concerted…Purdie Building14:00 PM to 15:00 PM

Dr Genki Kobayashi (RIKEN, Japan): Sir Martin Wood Prize Lecture

Dr Kobayashi was awarded the Sir Martin Wood Prize at the Millennium Science Forum which took place in November 2023. The Millennium Science Forum was established in 1998 to promote scientific exchange between Britain and Japan and recognize the work of outstanding young Japanese researchers. The prize is named after Sir Martin Wood, founder of…Purdie Building13:00 PM to 14:00 PM

School of Chemistry Colloqium: Professor Ryan O’Hayre (Colorado School of Mines, USA)

Fuel cells provide one of the most efficient means for converting the chemical energy stored in a fuel to electrical energy. Fuel cells offer improved energy efficiency and reduced pollution compared to heat engines. A complete fuel cell system amounts to a small chemical plant for the production of power. The first half of this…Purdie Building11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Work, Organisations and Society thematic research group meeting

This meeting of the Work, Organisations and Society thematic group of the Department of Management will focus on research grants. Current funded research projects will be presented, with participants from Cardiff, Edinburgh, Aberystwyth, Oxford Brooks and other universities around the UK. A question and answers session will be a chance to discuss the practicalities of…Purdie Building12:00 PM to 15:00 PM

School of Chemistry Colloquium: Dr Josh Makepeace (University of Birmingham)

This event is open to final year undergraduate project students, PhD students, post-doctoral researchers and academic staff. Effective energy storage is one of the keys to our transition to a sustainable energy system, and is likely to require a mixture of approaches including batteries and sustainable hydrogen-based fuels. Lithium imide has emerged as a fascinating…Purdie Building14:00 PM to 15:00 PM
