New in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social We turn waste nitrile butadiene rubber (gloves, O-rings) into valuable polyamines & polyols via Ru-catalysed hydrogenation. Big congrats to @sophialozano.bsky.social & the team @standrewschem.bsky.social @uniofstandrews.bsky.social

Delighted to share our paper just published in @acs.org catalysis where we report a new strategy for the hydrogenation of CO2 to CO using a Ru #pincer catalyst. Congratulations to James Luk and everyone at @standrewschem.bsky.social involved in the project. More details: doi.org/10.1021/acsc...

In this paper @RSC_Sus, we demonstrated a highly efficient hydrogenative depolymerisation of polycaprolactone to make 1,6-hexanediol with TON reaching ~20k. Congratulations to Garima, Sophia @standrewschem.bsky.social, & everyone involved in the project! tinyurl.com/4j7v4a79

Huge congratulations to Sophia from our group for winning the best poster prize at the 2025 @st-andrewschem.bsky.social Postgraduate Symposium.

Delighted to share our work on Polyetherureas as aqueous binders for Li ion batteries - now published in @green_rsc in collaboration with Rob Armstrong's group @StAndrewsChem @MassiVassi & @RobertGordonUni. Congrats to Garima, Mei, & everyone involved! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Delighted to share our paper just published @MacroJrnls_ACS in collaboration with @chemguyeli.bsky.social on semirenewable and photodegradable polyamides exhibiting self-healing and triboelectric properties. See here for more details: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

We have another fully funded PhD position to work in collaboration with an industry on the development of organometallic catalysis for efficient hydrogenative depolymerisation of plastic waste. See more details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... @chemjobber.bsky.social

We have an exciting fully funded PhD position to work in our research group (kumarresearchlab.com) and at the Macquarie University with Prof. Yijiao Jiang (researchers.mq.edu.au/en/persons/y...). Application deadline: Dec 3, 2025. More details: tinyurl.com/2zr58myn @chemjobber.bsky.social

Excited to share our new #ACSSustainable paper on hydrogenating carbamates, ureas, and polyurethanes using heterogeneous catalysts —advancing sustainable materials recycling. Congrats to Ben Sole and the team! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Had a great time presenting with my PhD student, Sophia, to school students about waste recycling as part of the Sutton Trust Summer School at the University of St Andrews. Always a pleasure to interact with next generation thinkers! #SuttonTrust #Sustainability #Recycling #StAndrews

🎓 Huge congratulations to our brilliant M.Chem. project students Maia and Emily who graduated today! 🥂🎉 Your hard work, curiosity, and lab skills have been a joy to watch — we’re so proud of you both. Here's to exciting adventures ahead! 🧪💫

Huge congratulations to Alejandra Sophia Lozano Perez @sophialozano.bsky.social on winning the best poster prize at the International Conference on Sustainable Chemistry for Net Zero! Well done!

We have a 1 year PDRA position available in our lab to work in the areas of #organometallic #chemistry, #catalysis and #polymer #synthesis/recycling. @chemjobber.bsky.social @standreschem.bsky.social Reposts appreciated. More details here www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMT735/r....
