Anne Keller
Toyosi obtained a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering from UCL.
He started his PhD in October 2016 on the design, synthesis and characterisation of geometry-controlled supported nanocluster catalysts.
Mose is carrying out his BChem project on the synthesis of supported geometry-controlled Cu nanocatalysts
Billy is carrying out his BChem project on the design and synthesis of supported nanoclusters for energy conversion.
Fuad is carrying out his BChem project on the design and synthesis of supported nanoclusters for energy conversion.
Anne is currently a postgraduate student at Kalrsruhe University under the supervision of Dr Julia Rinck.
Her project is focussed on the electrochemical assessment of metal-laden MOFs.
