Guillaume is awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant!

17/3/2022

 
Guillaume has been awarded a prestigious Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council. This funding supports exceptional mid-career researchers and help them consolidate their teams and conduct pioneering research on topics and with methods of their choosing. This €2M award will enable us to enhance polymer mechanochemistry with mechanical bonds.

Guillaume is awarded the Bob Hay Lectureship 2021

13/12/2021

 
This prestigious lecture is given annually by a younger chemist working in the area of macrocyclic and/or supramolecular chemistry. The award lecture is given in memory of Professor Bob Hay, one of the pioneers of macrocyclic chemistry in the UK.

Guillaume will keep the cup until the next MASC meeting when I'll pass it on to the next winner. 

Guillaume won the Macro Group UK Young Researcher Medal !

11/12/2021

 
The Young Researchers Medal is awarded to a by the Macro group to UK-based scientist whose contributions to polymer science show outstanding promise for the future. Guillaume will be awarded a bronze medal and will deliver a medal award lecture at the Macro Group UK meeting in Autumn 2022.

This award is a great recognition for the what the group has achieved over the past 6 years. 

Welcome to James, Qianqian, and Herman!

2/11/2021

 
We welcome James Ormson to the group who's joining us for a PhD. He will be working on the mechanochemistry of catenane. We also welcome Qianqian and Herman for their MChem final year research project this month. Welcome to all!

Kelly Stanford's Science Pusheen visits our lab!

21/7/2021

 
Our lab has been illustrated by Kelly Stanford in her Science Pusheen series! Kelly Stanford (aka @TheLabArtist) is a science communicator, researcher and artist who is focused on using the power of art for science outreach. She does incredible portraits and illustrations and has drawn over 100 Science Pusheen to highlight the beauty and variety of science. We have collaborated with Kelly for the mechanochemistry panel, which features our own lab (Danny's fume hood at the time, previously occupied by Tom and even Guillaume!).

Celebrating Dr Nixon

8/7/2021

 
We were finally able to celebrate the completion of Rob's thesis (one year later!). It was great to meet again and Rob, sporting a decorated lab coat, masterly opened the traditional bubbles. 
Congratulations Dr Nixon!

Tom is now known as Dr Carr! - PhD#3

8/6/2021

 
Tom is now known as Dr Carr! He brilliantly defended his thesis today in front of Prof. Paul McGonigal and Prof. Simon Webb, after 3.5 years of hard work in the group. 
Many congratulations Dr Carr and best of luck in your future adventures!

Our research on the front cover of JACS!

3/3/2021

 
Our recent paper on dynamic isotope effect in the activation of a mechanophore made it to the front cover of JACS with the great artwork of Ella Maru Studio. Read the paper here.
