Biological membranes are a complex self-organizing composite of lipids, proteins and sugars. Although membrane organization has been intensively studied, the dynamic interactions of lipids and proteins in the living system are poorly understood. The main reason is the lack of appropriate techniques to study the relevant processes with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution. One cutting-edge technical progress is the combination of superresolution STED microscopy and fluorescence…

Project Title: Functional 3D nanocomposite bone tissue scaffolds Bone repair and regeneration is one of the most important issues concerning human health. With the aging population and the growing interest in outdoor sports, bone fracture, osseous defects and skeletal diseases have been increasingly observed. An ideal bone scaffold is an inorganic-organic hybrid composite possessing hierarchical porous structures with desired mechanical function and mass transport…

This project aims to fabricate nanostructured anodes for the development of solar assisted electrolyzers for hydrogen production. Templated electrodeposition will be used to prepare metallic films with a defined structure at the nanometre scale. This nanostructure will provide a high electroactive area, maximize photon capture, increase utilization of solar energy and overall enhance the rate of water oxidation. With a more efficient photoanode the electrolyser will consume less electrical…

An industry sponsored 3/3.5 y PhD project in polymer catalysis and characterization is available from October 2013 or sooner if convenient. The project will involve organometallic Ziegler-type chemistry and other polymerization, then applications in nanostructure formation and specific industrial applications with the sponsor. Funding will be at EPSRC standard rates.

Post-doc position for 2.5 years at the University of Iceland



The research project involves simulations and experimental studies of the mechanism and rate of dissociation of excited molecules, in particular after electron attachment. This work relates to studies of radiation damage as well as the possibility of using electron induced processes in controlled chemical reactions on surfaces. The calculations will make use of self-interaction corrected density functional theory as well…

For many applications within the microelectronics industry, the challenge is no longer the size reduction but the flexibly of materials and low production costs. In this context, a laser printing technique called LIFT (Laser-Induced Forward Transfer) has been developed in the frame of a preceding project. It allowed the printing of organic thin film transistors (OTFT) on various substrates. However, the performances of such OTFTs remained one to two orders of magnitude lower than their…
