Yesterday our PhD students launched their first livestream in a weekly series of sessions. During the session they are discussing how life is affected by the lockdown and look behind Covid-19 science. This week’s session is about false information that
On February 24th, students from Imperial College London, University College London and Trinity College Dublin gathered in the UK as part of the sixth CDT ACM cohort’s visit to Diamond Light Source. Starting at 10am at the Harwell Science and
This year’s CDT ACM cohort of students from Imperial, UCL and TCD recently gathered in Dublin for two weeks, to take part in an intensive microscopy training programme at the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory (AML) at Trinity College Dublin. Through instrument
We show how novel chemistry can be used to separate inorganic arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) – a material we have patented and named ImpAs, consisting of a arsenic(V)-selective metal-organic chemisorbent receptor supported on polymer resin beads. We show two cases
Third year student Seigo Masuda (CDT cohort 4) helped to initiate and work with Rackets Cubed, a charity that runs integrated Squash, Tennis, Education (STEM / Maths) and Nutrition for local school children. Seigo is currently doing a PhD in
In October of 2019 the Electrochemical Society Student Chapter at Imperial College London, hosted a one day workshop on modelling electrochemistry with COMSOL Multiphysics®. The workshop, led by Panagiota Theodoulou and Ross Hubble, introduced the basics of using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Jay Bullen, Cohort 3 student was recently awarded a Researcher Mobility Grant of £2500 from the Royal Society of Chemistry to develop an opensource, Arduino based electrochemical system for measuring toxic arsenic in drinking water. In collaboration with the charity
