Good presentations by Samira on urea crystallisation and Dominic on polymer crystallisation at the ISIC2023 conference last week University of Strathclyde Chemical Engineering

Well done to Mark and Mozhdeh, who submitted a joint experimental and computational paper on glycine zwitterion vibrational modes.

Congratulations to Samira who had a paper accepted in Crystal Growth and Design Crystal Growth & Design / ACS! The work tested various OPLS and GAFF based force fields for urea in crystal and solution phases. Chemical Engineering

Samira's work on assessing various urea force fields is now available open access in Crystal Growth & Design / ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Well done Samira! Chemical Engineering

Our paper on the effect of plasticisers on polymer crystallisation now available open access in Polymer: doi.org/10.1016/j.poly…

Congratulations to Samira and Magda who each submitted their PhD thesis last week!

Welcome to Mae Macleod, who has joined our group as a PhD student and will be studying heterogeneous nucleation.

Congratulations to Magda who successfully defended her PhD today! Thanks to James Elliott for coming to Glasgow as external examiner.

OMG, this is killing me 😂😂😂

Congratulations to Samira who successfully defended her PhD today! Thanks to Prof Jerry Heng, Imperial College London, for coming to Glasgow as external examiner.
