Post Doctoral Researchers

Greg Rees.jpg

University of Oxford

Dr.Gregory Rees

Gregory Rees received his B.Sc. (Chemistry, 2007), M.Sc. (Chemistry, 2008) from the University of Warwick. He received his Ph.D. in Physics (Warwick, 2012), focusing on the development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques for catalytic materials.  Greg joined Bruker UK Ltd in 2012 as an applications scientist, in 2014 he took up a postdoctoral position in materials solid state NMR back in Warwick (Physics), and in 2018 became a research fellow in the University of Nottingham (Medicine) specializing in multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its development.

He joined Professor Bruce’s group in February 2019, his research interests include materials solid state NMR and multinuclear MRI. Currently, he is working on developing NMR approaches to analyse battery materials.

Dr. Ed Darnbrough

Ed has a background in novel in-situ experimentation of hazardous materials from post doctoral work related to the nuclear sector at both Bristol and Oxford. Ed's proven in-situ techniques of measuring conductivity, following corrosion with X-rays, observing in SEM kinetics of growth and mechanical testing of microscale cantilevers will all be adapted and applied to solid state battery materials.

James Quirk.jpg

Newcastle University

Dr. James Quirk

James has a background in ab-initio modelling of interfaces and nanostructures in energy materials. He received his PhD from the University of York in 2021, focussing on charge trapping in grain boundaries and nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. Since then, he has moved to the Dawson group at Newcastle University where he has employed quantum and classical methods to study the effects of extended defects in emerging materials for batteries.
