We welcome Kevin Brennan and Geoffrey Keating to our…

As the blazing sun comes down to Ireland, our group does not stop to grow and this summer we will be at full capacity after the arrival of Geoffrey Keating and Kevin Brennan, two Trinity undergraduate students from Nanoscience, Physics & Chemistry of Advanced Materials (NPCAM) and Chemistry with Molecular Modelling (CMM), respectively. Geoffrey and Kevin will be working in our group on the rational design of metal-organic frameworks for energy applications by means of periodic-DFT methods. If you want to know more about these two brilliant undergraduates, check the group members page.

And stay tuned to be updated on their theoretical results on this fascinating project!

Our group has been awarded with a Provost’s PhD…


 

Trinity College Dublin has launched this year 40 fully funded PhD positions across a wide variety of disciplines. The 40 Provost’s PhD Project Awards are open to both EU and non-EU candidates and include an annual stipend of €16,000 for four years. These doctoral awards are generously funded through alumni donations and the Trinity’s Commercial Revenue Unit.

We are delighted to announce that our group has been awarded one of these prestigious awards and that we will be recruiting one highly motivated undergraduate student to work with us for the next 4 years. This is a unique opportunity to study in one of the most important universities in the world and located in the heart of Dublin, an ever-growing city. We will be accepting applications until the 31st May. You can find more details of the application process in the Open Positions page.

We welcome to our group Pablo Gómez-Orellana!

Today we welcome a new member to the group, Pablo Gómez-Orellana. Pablo is a 3rd year PhD student from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona working under the supervision of Prof. Gregori Ujaque and Prof. Agustí Lledós. His doctorate research focuses on the computational modelling of hydroamination reactions catalysed by transition metal complexes.

In addition to his expertise in DFT calculations, Pablo has a good experimental background from his MSc research project at the University of Vigo and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Pablo has joined us for three months to work on establishing linear scaling relations for homogeneously catalysed reactions. Welcome to the group, Pablo!

Welcome to CCEM Group, Romain!

Today we welcome to our group Romain Barda-Chatain, a 2nd year student from the Université Toulouse-III-Paul-Sabatier. He has joined the group for a 3-month Erasmus internship and he will be working on applying DFT methods to rationally design novel molecular OER catalysts based on Earth-abundant elements.

We hope you learn a lot of things with us and enjoy your time in our group. Welcome to the CCEM Group Romain!
