Members of the group
Current group members
Dr Eoin Moynihan
Eoin is interested in using advanced TEM techniques, including 4D-STEM and in situ approaches, to understand ferroic 2D materials.
Keqi Qu
Dr Keqi Qu holds a 2025 Marie-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship award. She is interested in understanding and designing eutectic electrolytes for better aqueous zinc ion batteries.
Dr Yi Yuan
Yi is now working as a postdoc, where her research project focuses on materials processes via in-situ electron microscopy, in particular electrochemical reactions.
Dr Xuejun Lu
Xuejun Lu is a postdoctoral researcher working on rechargeable aqueous battery electrodes and electrolytes. He has experience in working between academia and industry in Canada and China.
Dr Rongrong Qi
Rongrong completed her PhD at the University of Manchester, and is now a postdoctoral researcher working on ferroelectric 2D materials using in situ transmission electron microscopy.
Dr Harriet Nevison-Andrews
Harriet is a postdoctoral researcher working on two-dimensional material devices for transmission electron microscopy. She completed her PhD at Manchester.
Oscar Long
Oscar joined the group as a PhD student in October 2024. His project is looking at the use of 2D materials to aid the study of liquids and electrochemistry by TEM.
Gianluca Seaford
Luca is a PhD student at the CDT for Modelling Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys), lead supervised by Prof Nicholas Hine, focusing on simulating nucleation and electrochemical processes via machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs).
Jessica Mould
Jessica joined the group in 2025 to study for a PhD in 2D material devices. She is looking at understanding the atomic level mechanisms that occur in memristive switching by transmission electron microscopy.
