January 2021 - Welcome Jordan and Carlijn

Carlijn joins us group from the Feringa Group in the Netherlands and will be working with Michael for the next 3 months on linear molecular-level motion.

Jordan joins the group from Strasbourg as a new post-doc to work in collaboration with the group of Professor Jonathan Clayden on a biocatalytically-driven autonomous rotary molecular motor.
 
Welcome to both of our new team members!

December 2020 - New Horizons Award

​

Beatrice is awarded a New Horizons Award from UKRI for a project entitled "Oscillating Photostationary States for Molecular Cargo Transport". This award will support a postdoctoral research associate to work on autonomous light-fuelled motion at the molecular level.​

November 2020 - Welcome Emma!

Emma Hollis joins the group from the CDT in Technology Enhanced Synthesis for her 6 week mini-project. Emma will be working with Michael on linear molecular-level motion - welcome Emma!
