This site is about our research @ The University of Sheffield
Dr Adrien Chauvet won the Best Talk prize at #RAMS2019 with ‘Ultrafast Spectroscopy: Watching electrons dynamics “live”’ sponsored by the Institute of Physics Materials and Characterization group & the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C @Royal Society of Chemistry
Simply to congratulate once more the students who participated to the summer school, as well as all the staff and collaborators involved. It was a great experience and I am sure that we all benefited from it.
…to be repeated!
We got funds (£0.4 out of £1.8M) from NSF-NERC to start an exciting project on graphene-based phosphate sensor!
While our collaborator will be designing the sensor, we will characterise its intriguing electronic properties. Phosphate is an essential plant nutrient and its sensing, in real time, in real conditions… will be really cool, and key to foster more sustainable farming practices. A postdoc to work on the project will be needed soon!
We welcome our 6 international students who are currently participating to the 2D Material summer school; in collaboration with Prof. A. Tartakovskii, Prof. G. Leggett and Dr. J. Foster. During this program, they will participate to different lab activities, exploring the Physics and Chemistry of divers 2D materials.
And of course, a big thank you to Arthur and Sayantan who are hosting them in our laser lab.
First grant awarded!
Dr. Chauvet is the recipient of EPSRC’s notorious Young Investigator Award.
This grant will cover a 3-years postdoc and the necessary equipment to pursue the ultrafast investigation of newly synthesised -intriguing- porphyrins (£ 380k).
Big thanks to the EPSRC for funding the “Property-Enhanced Porphyrins” project and all the people involved in the reviewing process.
