Venue: UCL Physics A1/3 (top floor), followed by networking in E7 (ground floor)

To welcome new PIs to the TYC, and to introduce them and their research to existing members, the Thomas Young Centre runs a continuous programme of Recently Recruited events

This session introduces Angela Casarella from Imperial, Francisco Martin-Martinez from King’s, and Ricardo Grau-Crespo from QMUL, to the TYC.

Computational modelling of nature-inspired bio-based materials – Francisco Martin-Martinez, King’s College London

Valorising extensively available biomass wastes, developing biobased materials, and mimicking nature in its ability to design materials for circularity as well as performance are some of the avenues to achieve a more sustainable development. In our lab, we seek material building blocks in biomass waste and non-critical material sources, and we investigate structure-property relationships, assembly, and degradation mechanisms of biomolecules and biomass materials. We use computational chemistry, atomistic modelling, and machine learning to develop molecules and materials with applications in precision agriculture, self-healing infrastructure, or energy storage.
