Congratulation to Jake, who was a MChem student at that time, and to Arthur, who is now first author, for their publication in ACS-AMI:

Royal Society of Chemistry prize
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
Summer school 2019
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!
Funding
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!
Summer school
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.
Funding
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.
Thesis completion and poster session.
Congratulation to our 4th year students, Zak, Holly and Jake, for completing their thesis! Well done.
Here are some pictures of each in front of their -colourful & creative- posters:

Thank you for your good work and again, congratulation to all!
