George A. Sackman (D.Phil. 2017-20)

George is following up his Part II year in the group with a DPhil project in collaboration with ANSTO neutron scattering facility in Sydney. He is spending most of 2019 at ANSTO collecting data on crystalline materials that need neutron diffraction to exctract crucial infomation about their structure.

In his spare time George may be … Read the rest

Mr. Karim J. Sutton (D.Phil. 2011-2014)

For his Part II year, Karim worked in Chem. Cryst. studying ion binding in rotaxanes (in collaboration with Paul Beer’s research group).  He has now returned to do a D. Phil. spending part of his time at Diamond Light Source.  When he’s not at Diamond he can be found playing darts or cricket for Worcester … Read the rest

Mr. N. David Brown (2008-2011)

As part of Age Concern, an EPSRC-funded exploration into the world of modern crystallography, Dave is developing a fast, live, configurable chemical structure matching algorithm to identify discrepancies between an expected structure and a real crystallographic structure. Implemented in his software “matchbOx”, Dave is augmenting the software capabilities to automatically handle certain cases of crystal … Read the rest
