Nia’s Part II project is focused on the preparation and systematic study of thiosemicarbazone complexes by single crystal X-ray diffraction. When not in the lab she may be found listening to music at live venues, or perhaps sampling some of Oxford’s fine real ales.… Read the rest

David is exploring the different ways of describing ring puckering and conformation. By using data in the CSD and avoiding the lab as much as possible, he hopes to create an amalgamated approach to defining ring puckering and conformation that could be implemented in refinement software. If he isn’t hiding in the CRL basement he’s … Read the rest

Karim is carrying out a systematic study of ion binding in rotaxanes in collaboration with Paul Beer’s research group. When he’s not collecting data at Diamond he can be found in the library or running round the Worcester College football field.… Read the rest

Emma’s research is focussed on developing a better understanding of the solid state. She is using a three pronged attack, studying the crystallisation of chalcones; examining the effect of temperature on a material that undergoes a phase transition, and investigating the World’s Favourite Space Group, P21/c. She is using a wide range of … Read the rest

Jeremy’s research revolves around using various techniques (NMR, crystallography and DFT calculations) to provide information about exactly where hydrogen atoms are located in crystal structures, and exploring the merits and shortcomings of the various techniques for this purpose. When he isn’t trying to persuade a supercomputer to calculate what he wants, he enjoys playing the … Read the rest
