Cameron is investigating algorithms for extracting 3D molecular conformation information from solid and liquid phase molecules using PDF scattering measurements. He has chosen a series of moderately flexible molecules to continue the work of Gwenno Jones.
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 most likely to be found doing some from of college sport.
