PhD students


Amanda Page (2005-2010) Studying crystallisation at surfaces/in wedges, via computer simulation. Thesis submitted, "A Computational Study of Crystallisation in the Presence of Disordered Porous Media" and viva passed, 2010.

Vinicio Gonzalez Perez (2008- ) Studying protein dynamics and signalling in cells, via modelling

Cosupervised with Dr Alan Dalton

Piyapong Asanithi (2006-2010) Experiments, mainly on buckypaper, a porous material made with carbon nanotubes. Piyapong submitted his thesis, "Physical and Chemical Tunability of Carbon Nanotube Based Materials for Protein Crystallisation, Cell-Growth Substrates and Responsive Sensors" and passed his viva in 2010. He is back in Thailand and working at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (Bangkok, Thailand).

Che Azurahanim Che Abdullah (2008- ) Experiments, mainly on living cells. A combination of work on understanding delivery of cargoes into cells using carbon-nanotube based nanocomposites, and cells on substrates with engineered surfaces.
