PhD Students

Lana Francis

PhD student

  • PhD co-supervised with Michael Baker

  • Lana completed her MChem at Cardiff University with a placement year abroad at the University of Florida. Both projects focused on benchmarking electronic structure theory methods. Her PhD project focuses on modelling X-ray spectra of actinides.

Kholil Rahman

PhD student

  • PhD co-supervised with David Mills and Nicholas Chilton

  • Kholil completed his MChem at the University of Manchester, where his fourth year project focused on establishing magneto structural relationships of hypothetical dysprosium complexes under the supervision of Prof Nicholas Chilton. As a PhD student, his project is focused on the electronic structure of novel transition metal complexes.

MChem Students

Lin Abhari

MChem student

  • Current MChem student, and did their 3rd year project under the supervision of Prof. Morris

  • Lin’s research is focused on dynamic correlation effects on X-ray spectra of actinyl complexes

Pippin

Post-dog

  • PhD (pretty happy dog)
  • Pippin trained with Dr. Oakley for 4 years and gained expertise in sit, speak, and playing dead.
  • Proficient in pip

Group Alumni

Vedaang Parammal

Undergraduate student

  • Vedaang worked with us as a second year MChem student at the University of Manchester

  • His research focuses on correlating structural features to f-d transition energies within f-element complexes.
