Sustainable Energy & Fuels Poster Prize Andrea Rogolino (University of Cambridge, UK) Andrea Rogolino received his BSc and MSc in Chemistry at the University of Padova, in Italy. After conducting his Master project at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany (2021) he completed a Master of Research in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Cambridge (2022-2023). He is currently a PhD student in Chemistry at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Prof. Erwin Reisner. In his PhD, he is developing an innovative concept of heterogeneous, solar-driven catalysis known as Liquid|Solid|Liquid (L|S|L) photocatalysis. He works on the design of lightweight photocatalytic materials floating at the interface between immiscible solvents for simultaneous organic and aqueous synthesis.

EES Catalysis Poster Prize James Luk (University of St Andrews, UK) James Luk completed an MChem at the University of St Andrews in 2022, before joining the group of Dr Amit Kumar as a PhD researcher at the same institution. His research explores homogeneous catalytic approaches to CO2 utilisation, more sustainable polymer synthesis, and the upcycling of PET via hydrogenative depolymerisation. Having recently submitted his thesis, James is excited to continue developing chemical methodologies to support a more circular and sustainable future. |
