PhD Students
Charlotte Harris
Charlotte joined the group in 2024 and is working on magnetically-responsive Pickering emulsions. Find out more about Charlotte and her research here.
Alexandra Billina
Alexandra joined the group in 2024 and is working on understanding structure-property relationships of complex nanoparticle species, and utilising these complex interactions to develop sensing composites. Find out more about Alexandra and her research here.
Xuesi (Melody) Yin
Melody joined the group in late 2023 and is working on the development of 0D-2D extended nanostructures, exploring their structure-property relationships and their application for MRI, MPI and hyperthermia. Find out more about Xuesi and her research here.
Aoife Kavanagh
Aoife joined the group in September 2020 and is supported by the Advanced Characterisation of Materials Centre for Doctoral Training and will be co-supervised by Prof. Yurii Gun’ko (Trinity College Dublin). Aoife’s research aims to develop new surface-functionalised 2D CuInS-based colloidal nanomaterials for use in biomedical applications.Find out more about Aoife and her research here.
Saul Reid-Guest
Saul joined the group in 2025 and is exploring the development of responsive hydrogels which can be used to monitor the presence and progression of disease. Find out more about Saul and his research here.
