We are excited to welcome Miriam Bellagh to the Perera Group! Miriam officially enrolled for her PhD on 18/03/2022, under Dr Perera’s primary supervision. She will be working on development of novel composite semiconductor photocatalysts for water treatment and 3D printed scaffolds to mount them.

Dr Stepova is the Head of Department of Environmental Safety, Lviv State University of Life Safety, Ukraine. She has made several visits to Kingston University via the Erasmus visiting scholar program. This year she joined us at the Level 6 catalysis chemistry lab, conducted by Dr Perera.

Title: Titanosilicates: Towards Greener Pathways in Photocatalysis

Poster title: "Optimization of Titanosilicate Pore Structures for Photocatalysis".

The Materials chemistry team obtained UKRI HEFCE-GCRF funding for the project: A combinatorial approach to low-cost water treatment via removal of microbes, organic pollutants and heavy metals (3 in 1) Part III

Award: Best project/dissertation supervisor 2018/19.

We wish our students, staff and collaborators a joyous Christmas break and a happy, healthy and productive New Year 2022!

The group members celebrated the end of another productive academic year at the Turtle Bay.
