Congratulations to Zoe Ayres who won the poster prize at Electrochem 2015 on her work developing a diamond pH sensor.

On Monday the 22nd of June, the Midlands Electrochemistry Group annual meeting was held at Warwick. MEG allows PhD electrochemists from different research groups across the Midlands to do talks and present posters to their peers in a friendly conference environment.

Prizes won by the group included best poster won by both Tania and Maria, along with Minkyung recieving the runner up poster prize. Sze and Lingcong got second and third prizes for their talks respectively.

Plenary talks were given by Professor Alan Bond and Dr Jie Zhang. Thank you to the event sponsors: Uniscan Instruments, Alvatek, Metrohm, IJ Cambria, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the International Society of Electrochemistry.

The chemsitry Postgraduate Symposium took place on Wednesday 27th of May 2015 at Warwick. Over 200 staff, students and researchers attended.

Congratulations to Faduma Maddar (third left) for winning the poster prize on her PhD work: "Quantitative Dissolution Kinetics of a Bicalutamide Single Microcrystal in Aqueous Solution: An In situ Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Finite Element Modelling (FEM) Study".

The runner-up talk prize was also won by a Alex Parker for his talk on "New Combinatorial Approaches for Investigating the Localized Dissolution of Dental Enamel and Impact of Surface Treatments".

Congratulations to Zoe Ayres for winning a poster prize in the #RSCAnalyticalPoster competition. The competition was based on twitter, getting global interest, with the aim of creating a poster that succinctly summarised an application of method in analytical science. The competition attracted significant interest with > 1k tweets to an audience of >300 k. Zoe's poster was based on Electrochemical x-ray fluorescence.

Congratulations to Warwick's Sarah-Jane Richards (right) from Dr Matt Gibson's group who also won a prize.

Congratulations to Emma Ravenhill who received the best poster prize a the WE-heraeus-Seminar, Electrochemical Surface Science on the 18th-22nd of January in Germany. The poster was on the "Use of chemical force microscopy to understand nanoparticle-substrate interations in electrochemical collisions. "
