Dr Peter Wells (UCL, ECR at that time) had one of the Exemplar projects with the Hub in 2013 titled Technical Developments for Probing the Nature of the Active Site and Catalytic Mechanisms. This project hired Dr Emma Gibson (UCL). Technical developments for Probing the Nature of the Active Site and Catalytic…
As underlined in the COP26, methane as a greenhouse gas is nearly 25 time more potent than CO2 while its reserve is much more than the sum of coal, oil and natural gas. Thus methane conversion not only involves the environmental issue but more importantly is regarded as the most promising…
María Asunción Molina Esquinas, a member of the UK Catalysis Hub LAURELIN project at University College London, has been awarded the 2023 Thesis Prize by the Spanish Society of Catalysis. Her doctoral thesis, titled “Immobilization of Enzymes in MOFs: Design and Applications,” was developed at the “Instituto de Catálisis y…
Two fully funded 3.5 year Ph.D studentships are available to UK nationals and outstanding international students, with Professors Lynn Gladden, Mick Mantle and Andy Sederman, to start 1 October 2024. The projects will be based around the development of advanced magnetic resonance techniques to optimise heterogenous catalysts and the operation…
The EPSRC has funded AIChemy, a research hub to develop artificial intelligence (AI) for chemistry. AIChemy seeks to both develop new AI approaches and to uptake AI into the chemistry community. The Hub brings together AI researchers from many subdisciplines and both experimental and computational chemists. The hub will promote…
The water electrolysis is one the most intensely studied process namely in connection with replacement of the fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Successful candidate will be involved cutting edge program within the OP JAK project Eco and Store focused on rational design of the novel nanoparticulate catalysts for hydrogen…
Cyanobacteria Engineering for Restoring Environments (CYBER) is a new UKRI-funded Engineering Biology Mission Award that aims to: develop the foundational multidisciplinary tools needed to de-risk environmentally focused engineering biology and ultimately support its future deployment into real-world ecosystems. We want to find ways to make a real positive impact on the…
Ammonia is one of the most important bulk chemicals. In particular, through its use in the production of fertilizers it plays no small part in feeding the earth’s population, which has increased more than fourfold since industrial production of ammonia via the Haber-Bosch process has become possible. Environmentally friendly production…
