Arron Burnage alb10@hw.ac.uk Arron's research concerns modelling rhodium σ-alkane complexes and their use in heterogeneous catalysis with DFT. This project is in collaboration with the Andy Weller group at the University of York with the studentship funded by the school of engineering and physical sciences. | ||
