Absolutely delighted to have been awarded an European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant for my project AMPed! Particularly surprising given that I spent the first 5 min of the interview failing to open my presentation 😅 Newcastle Chemistry Sciences at Newcastle Newcastle University Academic Track

A project led by Dr James Dawson James A. Dawson has been successful in securing a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council to help develop next-generation batteries European Research Council (ERC) #ERCCoG Sciences at Newcastle ncl.ac.uk/press/articles…

Happy New Year! Great to start 2024 with a new paper on the optimisation of conductivity in halide solid electrolytes. First of many collaborations with Andy Sun at Western University. Calculations by James Quirk and myself 🔋💻 Newcastle Chemistry Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Great to attend the first “Teaching Python in Chemistry Meeting” at UCL Chemistry with Cole Group , Oscar Ballantyne and Ioan Magdau. Looks to be some interesting developments coming to a university near you. Thanks to Miguel Rivera 🥭 and Andrew McCluskey.

Kicking off session five with Juliane Fiates discussing research into the future of anode-free batteries

Great job from Oscar Oscar Ballantyne who won 2nd place at the #SNESFest24 poster competition yesterday! 🥈👏 Sciences at Newcastle Newcastle Chemistry The Leverhulme Trust

SO happy to have passed my Viva with minor corrections🤩Thank you so much James A. Dawson for your supervision and huge thank you to Prof. Penfold and @robajackson for examining, it was wonderful discussing my PhD with you!So grateful for the PhD experience+friends made along the way❤️

Until next time Materials Research Society (MRS)! James Quirk Juliane Fiates Jemma Cox

A nice early Christmas present! Great simulations using a new MLFF from Ying. Aberdeen Solid State Chemistry Oscar Ballantyne Dylan Tawse Newcastle Chemistry
