Faculty: Chemistry

Jonathan Bartley

Jonathan’s expertise covers heterogeneous catalysis and the design and synthesis of mixed oxide materials for use as catalysts and supports for different reactions. His research is mainly focussed on oxidation reactions including developing microwave catalysis to remove pollutants from water.

More information on Jonathan’s institutional profile.

philip davies

Philip’s primary interest is understanding how a surface can modifies or direct a chemical reaction. Work has been concerned with understanding the reactions of molecules at surfaces characterised both chemically and structurally at the atomic level. Other aspects of our work include studying the mechanism of photocatalysis.

More information on Philip’s institutional profile.

Timothy Easun

Tim’s research targets the use of photochemistry to control the behaviour of ultramicroporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) from changing their overall porosity, to directing molecular flow in order to make functional nanofluidic devices. His research team make MOFs that selectively trap gaseous species, translating that work into the liquid state in order to purify water of molecular and ionic contaminants, including the removal of harmful pharmaceutical molecules.

Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern

Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern

Barbara’s research focuses on environmental pollution, environmental epidemiology, water quality/water treatment and analytical chemistry. Barbara is particularly interested in water pollution and novel technologies used to decrease contamination of water. Recent interests are related to urban water and human epidemiology.

Ben Ward

Ben is an inorganic chemist with an interest in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, especially when applied to polymer formation and degradation. He has particular expertise in the development and understanding of catalysts using Earth-abundant metals, using a combination of experimental and computational methods.

Charlotte Lloyd

Charlotte Lloyd

Charlotte’s current research forms part of the NERC-funded DOMAINE project (Dissolved Organic MAtter IN freshwater Ecosystems). This project aims to characterise the nature, origins and ecological significance of dissolved organic matter in freshwater ecosystems.

Alberto Roldan Martinez

Alberto’s research is based on computer simulation linking materials composition and atomic structure to the reactivity of relevance to chemistry and sustainable industry. He is particularly interested in the recovery and utilisation of chemicals in wastewaters.

Frank Marken

Frank Marken

Frank’s research involves electrical chemistry and exploring the use of new materials. He also studies porous polymers / membranes to enable ion transport. Frank focuses on biological membranes and researching and mimicking their operation. Frank also work on desalination and the use of energy to remove salts.
