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.

The workshop will bring together leading experts in these areas to discuss recent breakthroughs and identify new directions for dramatically enhancing the performance of thermoelectric and photovoltaic materials.

The TYC Student Day is a one-day celebration of the research in theory and simulation of materials and molecules that is done by PhD students in the four London Colleges that make up the TYC (UCL, Imperial, King’s and QMUL), and Brunel University London and London South Bank University.

The TYC Early Career Prize, will be awarded to an early career researcher in recognition of their original published research in the theory and/or simulation of materials or (bio)molecules.
