Happy 20th birthday Quantum ESPRESSO! We celebrated it today at the 21st Workshop on Computat. #Physics and #MaterialsScience. Photo: Prof. Paolo Giannozzi (#CNR_IOM), Prof. Shobhana Narashiman (JNCASR Bangalore) and Prof. Stefano Baroni (SISSA ).


Fellow vivianite fans – my first PhD paper is out, where we investigate how the incorporation of Mn and Mg at varying salinity influences the crystal structure and morphology of vivianite doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.… ETH Soil Chemistry



New paper alert! 🚨 @toni_yorks PhD research on cement-radionuclide interactions yielded its 2nd paper today, on the formation of uranyl-silicate minerals from C-S-H in U-rich cementitious radioactive waste. Check it out in Scientific Reports here: nature.com/articles/s4159…


Really delighted to be included in such an incredible group of awardees (current & past), congratulations everyone 🥳. Very grateful to the The Geological Society and those who nominated me for the recognition. Here's me where I feel very happy, on a volcano in the IAVCEI hat and waterproofs🌋


New paper alert! 🚨 Aidan Friskney published the first paper from his Nuclear Decommissioning Authority @GREENCDT funded PhD this week, exploring the use of sintering aids in the synthesis of zirconolite ceramics for plutonium disposition.

Please consider attending this event, the first in the #UK for the #Mineral #Physics community since before #covid. The event will be held in the Wills Memorial Building University of Bristol Earth Sciences in September.


🚨Registration for the #Mineral #Physics Research in Progress meeting 2023 is open and is FREE! 🌐 School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol (University of Bristol Earth Sciences) + online 📅 4th-5th Sep 🆓 Support for travel/accommodation available. min2022.org/mpg-rip-2023/ #MinPhysRiP23


The GW4 Alliance has made available 5 #PhD studentships. Potential supervisors, including myself, are available University of Bristol Earth Sciences University of Bristol. Apply here: nercgw4plus.ac.uk/apply by the 2nd of August. See here: nercgw4plus.ac.uk/research for a searchable list of research topics.


My colleague Hauke Marquardt Oxford Earth Sciences is looking for a new PDRA to perform Brillouin Spectroscopic measurements on lower mantle minerals. Please RT and pass this on to anyone you think might be suitable. Details here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…
