Transparent later inkist8/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Dan is was a visitor to the Scanlon group in 2019 and joined fully in January 2020 to take up a PDRA position working on the discovery of mixed anion semiconductors. ![]() He defended his thesis on the application of chemical heuristics and machine learning for the discovery of solar energy materials in 2018, then secured an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship at Imperial College London to spend a year applying these techniques to battery cathode materials. A brief stint in the synthetic labs during his training year working on hydrogen-storing metal organic frameworks earned Dan an MRes, before he came to his senses and returned to the world of computational chemistry to carry out his PhD project, also with Prof Walsh. After graduating with a first class MChem degree, he stayed in Bath to join the doctoral training program in the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies. Yong-Seok’s profile on Google Scholar Citationsĭan is from Christchurch on the Dorset Riviera and moved to the West Country to study at the University of Bath, where he carried out a final year project on high-throughput materials screening with Prof Aron Walsh. Yong-Seok moved back to Korea in September 2022 to take up an Associate Professorship in the Department of Materials Science Engineering at Dankook University. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling and video games. Yong-Seok Joined the SMTG in March 2020 to study computational materials chemistry for novel Na-ion battery materials as part of the Faraday Institution funded NEXGENNA project. He then extended his earlier works to solid electrolyte to understand the physics governing battery performances. ![]() During his research, he has collaborated with computational and experimental teams in KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology) to perform multi-scale analyses on anode materials. His early PhD research focused on the atomistic interpretation on the diffusion behaviors occurring in anode materials of Na- and Li-ion batteries. Yong-Seok is from and grew up in South Korea and completed his PhD degree in the department of Materials Science and Engineering at Korea University. Seán’s profile on Google Scholar Citations He also loves to travel, especially for snowboarding holidays in the winter! ![]() Outside the lab, Seán enjoys being active and outdoors, as well as listening to podcasts/audiobooks and watching movies. Prof Aron Walsh of Imperial College London will join Prof Scanlon in guiding Sean on his project looking at the importance of defects in energy materials. After experimental research projects in Nokia – Bell Labs (“Fabrication of Efficient Heat Transfer Devices via Colloidal Template Electrodeposition”) and the Nicolosi Advanced Materials group (“Synthesis and Characterisation of Ultra-Thin Tin(II) Oxide Platelets for Energy Storage Applications”), Seán decided to take a leap of faith by pursuing a PhD in computational chemistry.īut níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin, so to make London feel more like home, Seán has not one but two TCD alumni as supervisors. Seán grew up near Dublin, where he studied Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). Away from the lab, Chris is a bit of a quiz enthusiast, and also likes to play squash, video games and to try to get through his collection of unread books.Ĭhris’ profile on Google Scholar Citations In January 2021 Chris transitioned to independence and started a prestigious Ramsay Memorial Fellowship in the Department of Chemistry at UCL. Chris then took up a position as a “Faraday Fellow”, as his first post doctoral project was part of the Faraday Institution Multiscale Modelling project, focused on a complete computational understanding of degradation in cathodes. Along the way, Chris won the Catlow Prize for best final year Computational Chemistry PhD in UCL and he defended his thesis in August 2018. Chris spent 42 months at UCL transitioning to becoming a computational chemist, focused on the prediction of novel materials for photovoltaics. He spent his final year there attempting to find geometrical frustration in a variety of metal pseudohalide salts. Chris is from West Sussex, and spent his time as an undergraduate at the University of Oxford, graduating with an first class MChem degree. ![]()
