Congratulations to Peter Morris for winning best talk at the British Association of Crystal Growth Student Day this July 2019.

Congratulations to Enrico Daviddi for winning the Best Talk prize at the Midlands Electrochemistry Group Meeting 2019.

Congratulations to Sam Cobb for winning the PCCP poster prize at the inaugural Faraday Joint Interest Group Meeting 2017, as well as the Best Talk prize at the Midlands Electrochemistry Group Conference 2017!

It's conference season, and WEIG are taking it as an opportunity to snatch up all the prizes!

May 25th saw the Midlands Electrochemistry Group (MEG) 2016 Conference, gratefully hosted by the University of Leicester. Representing WEIG were Ashley Page, talking about multifunctional scanning for cellular uptake, Zoe Ayres and her diamond pH sensor, and Minkyung Kang discussing single nanoparticle electrochemistry. Also there were electrochemistry groups from Loughborough, Birmingham and Nottingham. But it was Warwick who came out on top, as Zoe won the prize for Best Talk and Lingcong Meng won the award for Best Poster.

June 1st was the Chemistry Department Postgraduate Research Symposium, Warwick's in-house conference. Here we had Maria Adobes Vidal discussing the dissolution of L-cystine crystals, David Perry talking about surface charge mapping, Faduma Maddar modelling the dissolution of pharmaceutical actives, and Minkyung showcasing her talk again. This time, Ashley was runner-up for the award for Best Poster, while Maria was the runner-up for Best Talk.

Well done everyone!

Roy Meyler recently attended the Hasselt Diamond Workshop - SBDD XXI - in Belgium to present his work on fabricating boron doped diamond electrochemical sensors to be used for detecting in extreme environments.

He won the Best Student Poster award, having been selected from over 100 posters by researchers from 24 countries.
