We are very happy to welcome Jingying back to the group. After completing her MSci with us, she decided to come back and join us as a fully fledged PhD student!
Welcome back to Jingying!

Congratulations to Amy
Congratulations to Amy whose work on amine activation methods for iron-catalysed hydrofunctionalisation has been published by Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis.
The paper can be accessed here.
Welcome to Andreas Mayr
A warm Thomas group welcome to Andi who joins us from the Universität Regensburg as a project student for the next 9 months.
A big thank you to our summer project students
Thanks to our two project students, Connie Büttner and Julie Newman, who came to work with us over the summer. Connie has now finished her undergraduate studies at the University of Edinburgh and now goes on to study for her PhD at the University of Cambridge with Prof. Matthew Gaunt. Julie returns to Princeton University to continue her undergraduate studies. Good luck to both in their future endeavours!
Congratulations to all
Congratulations to everyone in the group who presented their work, both in posters and oral presentations, at the Joseph Black Conference in Edinburgh yesterday. The day was filled with some really outstanding chemistry demonstrated by everybody within the School of Chemistry.
Special congratulations go to Jim, Jamie and Amy who all won prizes. Jim was awarded a teaching prize for ‘Excellence in Supporting a Final Year Student’s Project’. Jim has been nominated for EUSA teaching awards for the past three years, so it is great to see him get further recognition for his teaching efforts. Jamie won an award for his poster featuring some of the work he has done over the past two years looking at activation of earth-abundant metal catalysts and Amy won an award for her presentation on her work on iron and cobalt-catalysed hydrosilylation and hydroboration. Both Amy and Jamie have manuscripts submitted, so watch this space for more details on their chemistry!
Congratulations to Steve
A massive congratulations to Steve who has been awarded with the highly prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry’s Hickinbottom award. The award is credited based on originality and impact of research, and quality of results in publications, amongst other criteria. This is a great achievement for Steve and the group.
Welcome to Dan and Sarah
Welcome to Daniel DeRosa and Sarah Flook who have joined the group. Dan and Sarah are part of the Criticat CDT programme. Daniel has joined the group in collaboration with Dr Michael Cowley, and Sarah has joined in collaboration with Professor Neil Robertson.
Congratulations to Amy
Congratulations to Amy for presenting her work at the SCI 27th Regional Postgraduate Symposia on Novel Organic Chemistry in St Andrew’s in April. She gave an excellent talk amongst a show case of high quality work from across Scotland.
Congratulations to Kevin
Well done (again) to Kevin for having another paper published, this time in Chemistry – An Asian Journal. This paper covers his work investigating the formal hydroamination of olefins.
The early access article can be found here.
Congratulations to Kevin
Big congratulations to Kevin who has had a paper accepted by Chemical Science. This paper covers Kevin’s work in the chemoselective reduction of nitro compounds and hydroamination by a single iron catalyst.
