Nearly a month ago I presented research from my PhD in the School of Chemistry Postgraduate Research Symposium at @ChemistryUoN. I was awarded 2nd place in the Molecular Bonding and Spectroscopy category for the talk, but all of the talks were of a great standard!

Some weeks old, but happy to see this collaboration from my time at @ChemistryUoN with @FeringaLab & @CDTSusChem featured on @OPRD_ACS Flow Enabling Synthesis issue. Flow photochemistry to scale up the synthesis of biomass-based monomers. Well done, Matts!

Congratulations to all those involved in the project both in Ben's group and at @ChemistryUoN !

[Matt Pratley @ChemMtp]

Happy to see the collaboration with @FeringaLab is out in the @OPRD_ACS Flow Enabling Synthesis issue.
The work investigated using flow chemistry and in-situ PAT to scale up the synthesis of a monomer derived from biomass!

Last week I was given the opportunity to present in the @CDTSusChem Winter Showcase. It was also great to see some of the other fantastic work presented by the other final year students and newer cohorts alike. Thanks to organisers for making a great event happen!

[SusRes Chem CDT UoN/NTU @susresCDT]

We still have PhD positions available in Themes - LIFE(Li-Free electrochemical Energy) & MiSynth(Clean Chemical Synthesis Without Organic Solvents) to start October 2023!

Lovely group BBQ on Friday. Lot to celebrate and a bittersweet farewell to our first PhD student Dario, who will soon defend his thesis and start his industrial career @pharmaron

[Silvi Research Group @SilviResearch]

Happy to share our latest work in collaboration with @AstraZeneca online @J_A_C_S. Forging oxetanes from sp3 alcohols. https://t.co/afT8nHeTsn @ChemistryUoN

[Matt Pratley @ChemMtp]

Had a great time at #fce23 great to meet new people and see the cool flow chemistry going on, thanks to the organisers for a great conference!

Big shout out to Matt Edwards who won the poster prize for a collaborative project with myself and the other @CDTSusChem students!

[SusRes Chem CDT UoN/NTU @susresCDT]

We still have some PhD positions left for 2 of our Themes - LIFE and MiSynth to start October 2023

@SuperScienceGrl @ASTRAZENECAUK Was at the AZ Macclesfield campus the other day visiting my industrial supervisor - the facilities are ace!

[Matt Pratley @ChemMtp]

Had a good time visiting my industrial supervisor at the @AstraZeneca Macclesfield, lots to go and work on now!

[Matt Pratley @ChemMtp]

@ChemistCraig What solvents have you tried I found IPA was better than methanol for tri-phenyl phosphorus compounds, but it can be harder to take off after

[Matt Pratley @ChemMtp]

Had a great time presenting a poster at the @CDTSusChem annual conference, congrats to all who participated it was good to catch up and see all the wonderful work that has been going on.

[Silvi Research Group @SilviResearch]

Happy to share our recent work, online @J_A_C_S. Harnessing the radical reactivity of vinyl sulfoniums to develop a formal polarity mismatched radical addition to alkenes. @Dario_Fili @Subhasis2107 @ChemistryUoN https://t.co/9s5225raeC
