Nobel Visit

Trinity welcomed Nobel Prize winner Prof. Ben Feringa in January 2025. Prof. McAuley and the group were very lucky to be able to meet with Prof. Feringa during his visit to Dublin.

Congratulations to Chloé

It is going to be a busy summer with two invited talks... Chloé will attend both the Great Western Meeting in Bath and the ISIS Disordered Materials Meeting.

Prof. Ngamchuea visits Dublin

Prof. Ngamchuea received a grant from the RSC to allow her to visit and work in Trinity for a month. While in Dublin she presented her work on electroanalysis to the School of Chemistry as part of our Research Seminar Series.

Congratulations to Mert

A big well done to Mert for being awarded a First Class Honours (I.I) for his recently completed Capstone Project, titled "Theoretical and Numerical Investigation of Thin-Layer Cells for In Situ Electrochemical Synthesis".
