♻️🔬 From lab waste to catalysts and co-created learning!
We just shared our new preprint on RECOMPENSE, a student-led open science initiative that upcycles polystyrene waste into reusable catalysts for green chemistry.

and my new view is that if an LLM can do it, it’s a task or form or piece of paperwork that doesn’t need to and shouldn’t exist.
I still have one PhD position available for Oct 2026 - see below for more details.
Great to see/hear the latest research in all aspects of physical chemistry at the Faraday Community Poster Symposium at @rsc.org Burlington House today. Can report that the future of physical chemistry looking very healthy! #ChemSky
Happy to be attending this year’s Faraday Community Poster Symposium organised by @rsc.org
A full day of flash poster presentations celebrating the latest in physical chemistry research
I’m recruiting a PhD student through the UCL EPSRC Landscape Award (UELA) to work on machine learning models for excited-state properties in molecular organic crystals.

While a blue shift in the absorption spectra of particles with decreasing particle size is a sign of a delocalised excited state restricted in size by the volume of the particles, it is not a sign that this state necessarily only involves the inorganic core of the particles and is bulk-like. (5/N)
