Big congrats to James for passing his PhD viva earlier this month! During his PhD, James worked on the application of P,N-ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Thanks to Professor Hon Wai Lam for acting as the external (virtual) examiner. Well done James!

Huge congrats to Annette for passing her PhD viva last week! During her PhD, Annette worked on chiral ferrocene ligands. Thanks to Professor Johan Van der Eycken for acting as the external (virtual) examiner. Well done Annette!

Dr. Nitul Guha worked in our group as a postdoc for the last year, and recently left to return home to India and start the next stage of his career as a lecturer. We wish Nitul the best of luck with his career going forwards!

Big congrats to Calvin for passing his PhD viva earlier this year! During his PhD, Calvin worked on Pd-catalysed reactions with propargyl electrophiles. Thanks to Professor Jon Tunge for acting as the external (virtual) examiner. Well done Calvin!

 

Big congrats to Eric for passing his PhD viva!  During his PhD, Eric worked on Pd-catalysed asymmetric allylic alkylation of oxindoles. Thanks to Professor Simon Woodward for acting as the external (virtual) examiner. Well done Eric!

Congratulations to Laura for passing her PhD viva! The first virtual viva conducted in our group.
During her PhD, Laura worked on the synthesis of planar chiral ferrocenyl motifs and their applications in asymmetric catalysis and medicinal chemistry. She will be beginning a postdoctoral position in Prof. Stephen Fletcher in Oxford this October. Good luck Laura and well done!
