Week 2 of June - another country, another spectroscopy-heavy conference 🙌 Excited to be at #ECASIA24 in Gothenburg and to be presenting a keynote on some of our recent #HAXPES work including method development and application 🤩

Dita and colleagues did an absolutely fantastic job organising last week‘s HAXPES meeting 💪 Very excited to be organising #HAXPES26 together with Tien-Lin Lee 🙌 We‘ll need to work hard to keep the standard as high as this year 😅

Another day at #ECASIA24 - it has to be a great conference if they have a to scale LEGO model of the buildings 🤩

Fantastic plenary by Ute Cappel from @UU_University at #ECASIA24 🙌 A tour de force of how photoelectron spectroscopy provides crucial insights into key technologies 💪 Beautifully done spectroscopy with many systematic (and dynamic) experiments 💙

Week 3 of June conferences 🤩🥵 This week is all about theory of X-ray spectroscopy Aalto University 🙌 Also nice to be geeking out over #XPS / #HAXPES together with UCL Chemistry colleague Robert Palgrave 🤓 Thanks to Miguel Caro for the organisation and invitation 💙 #RACXS2024

Final day of #RACXS2024 and the end of my June conference marathon 💪 The conference dinner last night was only beaten by the walk back to the hotel along the shoreline at 11 PM with the midsummer light creating the most fantastic colours in the sky 🌅

It was a pleasure to present the group’s #HAXPES & #XPS work at #RACXS2024 and particularly the fantastic work of our theory colleagues who really go above and beyond to calculate spectra for us that aid in our understanding of chemical bonding and electronic structure 💙

Rob Palgrave from UCL Chemistry opening the #FutureMatDiscovery workshop at UCL on this rather warm day in central London 🤩 Great line-up of speakers with plenty of space for discussions too 💪 #HotMaterials

My expectations for talks by David Scanlon are always very high so pleased to say he delivered at #FutureMatDiscovery just now 😅 Great discussion on the hugely important role of defects in materials that even a mere experimentalist could follow 🙌 #WhatDefect

This never gets old - lighting up our samples under the X-ray beam during our current Diamond Light Source I09 #HAXPES beamtime this week ✨ We are measuring with a defocused beam in grazing incidence on transparent substrates leading to the most amazing, humongous beam spot 💡

Excited to announce the launch of a series of webinars on #Ga2O3 delivered by leading ECRs in the field! Everyone is welcome! Wed 17 July (2 pm) Piero Mazzolini “Annealing effect on shallow and deep level defects in κ-Ga2O3 thin films” To register 👉 events.teams.microsoft.com/event/1ff7f79c…

Working in Oxford has many perks not least my College’s “blind date with a book” 💛 Can’t wait to open this on my commute home 🤩 #OxfordLife #MysteryBook #TreatTime

Made it to Tampa for #AVS70 and have a fantastic view over the water and the convention centre💫 Excited to join the “light sources enabled science” mini symposium tomorrow morning 🤩 #TravellingScientist #HAXPESfanclub

Up next is the incomparable, Anna Regoutz (University College London) - Hard X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Its Application to the Bonding and Electronic Structure of Metal Dihydrides. #AVS70 It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Dr Anna Regoutz in person.

This is the one conference I've been to every year for more than a decade. And now I get to give a talk too!

Good morning Boston ☀️ Excited for #F24MRS. A fully packed program with one too many interesting talks at the same time. Tough decisions will have to be made 😅 #TravellingScientist

Fantastic fully-funded DPhil opportunities in Oxford Chemistry. Applications open for next round of #IMAT #CDT imatcdt.chem.ox.ac.uk/programme/rese… Exciting project on #photovoltaics jointly supervised by Dr Anna Regoutz and myself (P15). Apply by Jan 29. Enquiries welcome

New paper alert! Interested in #mxenes and #electrocatalysis? Check out our latest work on incorporating Mo into V-MXenes (and V-#MAXPhases) to make them more efficient catalysts for water splitting. Congratulations, Rose! Great collab with Dr Anna Regoutz. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

The GOOD webinar series is back, featuring even more rising stars of the #Ga2O3 world! We have another fantastic line of speakers promising epic discussions: Iuliia Zhelezova, Dave Rogers, Jacqueline Cooke, Dhanu Chettri, Sierra Seacat and Hartwin Peelaers.
