Diversity and inclusion, with respect to gender, nationality, culture, sexuality, etc… is unfortunately still missing in most places, and universities are definitely not a front runner. Research has shown that increased diversity in the working place, adding diversity in methods, approaches, etc… leads to increased performance and output overall. Whereas…

When: 14 July 2021, 15:00 BST Computational studies of homogeneous catalysis play an increasingly important role in furthering (and changing) our understanding of catalytic cycles and can help to guide the discovery and evaluation of new catalysts. While a truly “rational design” process remains out of reach, detailed mechanistic information…
When: 9 June 2021, 15:00 GMT Hydrothermal processing (HTP) of waste plastics can offer advantages over conventional thermochemical methods such as pyrolysis and gasification. This talk will present some results from the HTP of various model and real waste plastics for the recovery of energy and materials, along with the…
When: Tuesday 18th May, 15:00 GMT Catalytically reversible reactions, including alkene metathesis and transfer hydrogenation, have had an enormous impact on the development of synthetic strategies for the synthesis of bioactive compounds and important materials. However, the vast majority of chemically catalysed processes are non-reversible. In contrast, many enzyme-catalysed processes…
When: 26 April 2021, 15:00 GMT A joint webinar from 3 PhD students on catalysis. Alex Hawkins (Glasgow), Gareth Davies (Sheffield) and Gregory Sulley (Oxford) will talk about their PhD projects. Gareth Davies (Sheffield) – Operando studies of aerosol-assisted sol-gel (AASG) catalyst synthesis via combined optical trapping and Raman spectroscopy Aerosol-assisted heterogeneous catalyst…
When: 25 January 2021, 15:00 Webinar with Dr. Arunabhiram Chutia (Lincoln). Adsorption of atoms and molecules is a fundamental process, which takes place on a catalyst surface before they dissociate, diffuse over the surface and recombine with other adsorbed species to form the final product. Therefore, understanding the local geometrical…
When: 27 October, 15:00 Prof. Nigel Scrutton (Manchester) will talk about biocatalyst engineering and engineering of microbial cell factories for chemicals production. Biocatalyst engineering and the engineering of microbial cell factories for chemicals production has promised to deliver new routes to chemicals production. Major hurdles to scaled production of chemicals…
