Archived News (Autumn 2009) Dr
Aldridge to give invited lecture at Dalton Transactions International
Symposium in China: Dr Aldridge has been invited to speak at the
inaugural Dalton Transactions International Symposia, to be held in China in
October and November 2009. The two events, taking place in Shanghai and
Nanjing, also feature speakers from UC Berkeley, EPFL, Nankai,
Suzhou and Nanjing Universities. Dr Aldridge will also give an invited talk
at the 2nd Asian Coordination Chemistry
Conference in Nanjing. Three new post-doctoral co-workers: Dr Inke Siewert has joined the
group from that of Prof
Christian Limberg at HU, Berlin. Dr Andrey Protchenko has also
joined us to work on a Leverhulme Trust funded
project looking at novel d and f-block boryl complexes
in collaboration with the groups of Profs
Cameron Jones and Philip Mountford. Dr Jochen Niemeyer will join us in early 2010 from the group
of Prof
Gerhard Erker in Münster.
Hello and goodbye: Several new students have
joined the group in October 2009: Mike Kelly has returned after his Part 2
year to begin a DPhil on combined borane/hydrogen bond approaches to anion
sensing, while Ian Riddlestone has joined us
from Newcastle to work on a new collaboration with BP. We also welcome Phil
Fitzpatrick, Nick Phillips, Katie Smart and Antonia Vanbergen
as the new cohort of Part 2 students. At the other end of the line, Glesni Pierce
successfully defended her DPhil thesis last month
to become the 10th doctoral graduate from the group and the first from the
University of Oxford. Well done Gles!
