SPEAKERS
• Professor Siân Dutton (Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Cambridge)
Siân Dutton is a Professor of Physics and Solid State Chemistry at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge.
Siân was an undergraduate at Jesus College, Cambridge, and studied Natural Sciences. After a DPhil In Oxford and working in Princeton, she returned to Cambridge as a Winton Advanced Research Fellow. Siân’s interdisciplinary research group explores the relationship between composition, structure and properties in ceramic oxides. Her work explores new materials for next-generation rechargeable batteries and the use of magnetic materials to cool to low temperatures.
• Professor Rachel Evans (Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge)
Rachel Evans is a Professor of Materials Chemistry at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy and a Fellow of Jesus College. Rachel's research uses materials chemistry to design functional soft materials (e.g. polymers, surfactants, colloids/nanoparticles, organic-inorganic hybrids) which absorb, produce or respond to light. Such materials are the basis of many cutting-edge technologies, including light-emitting displays, solar cells, optical sensors and bioelectronic devices.
• Professor Alex Forse (Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge)
Alexander Forse is an Assistant Professor in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry. His research team studies and develops porous materials that can mitigate climate change. His current focus areas are energy storage and carbon dioxide capture.
• Professor James Keeler (Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge)
Professor James Keeler is Head of the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, but many alumni will remember him as Director of Teaching; a post he held for many years. His research primarily focused on NMR spectroscopy, however, in recent years he has dedicated his spare time to writing textbooks such as Atkins' Physical Chemistry which is widely acknowledged as the textbook of choice for those studying physical chemistry.
