The CCEM group has grown so quickly since 2017 when Eric joined. He was followed a year later by Michael, and then by Arantxa and Kevin in 2019. This September, we are delighted to announce and welcome Anna Ciotti as a new PhD student! Anna will be working on the rational design of electrocatalytic materials through DFT methods with the aim of activating small molecules to produce high value chemicals and fuels. This research will be funded by the prestigious AMBER Research Centre.

With 5 permanent members since 2017, and several visiting students and undergraduates, the group has never been more active. We’re all excited to see what Anna will accomplish over the next 4 years. Make sure to check back in for updates on her research!

Congratulations Anna!
