Putting aerosols to work in supramolecular chemistry
Hi, my name is Li Zehua, a master students of Advance Functional Materials at the University of Glasgow, I recently completed my practical project in the Mehr research group. During my undergraduate studies, I developed a strong interest in organic chemistry. My main focus was on alkali metal catalysis and photo-induced phase change energy storage dyes,…

Crafting next-generation reaction containers out of mists of tiny particles
Hi everyone! My name is Zhang Luokun, a master student of Advanced Functional Materials from the University of Glasgow. I am currently working as an intern in the Mehr research group. Two years ago, I came to Glasgow after finishing my undergraduate studies in China. For my program, I learnt the synthesis technology and characterisation…

A sounding board for future chemistry: Sound Chemistry retrospect
Earlier this month I organised my first research workshop. Why did it seem like a good idea; what were the main ideas behind the workshop; and how did it go? Let me share the answers to these questions while my memory is still fresh. Fellow scientist will be familiar with the perks of our job,…

The “optimiser” paper: Mapping out a path between optimisation and discovery
Our latest collaborative output with the Cronin group, codenamed “Chemputer Optimiser” is out in Nature Communications. Work on this paper started many years ago while I was still a post-doc in the Cronin group, and continued throughout the pandemic. As expected with an open-ended project like this, we had to stop many times and ask…
