UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, Associate Professor in Engineering @unibirmingham #MOFs #Mechanics #Nanofluidics

Birmingham, England
Joined November 2017
We organised the Bham MOFluidics Workshop on Monday. It's great to see many colleagues and early-career researchers (ECR) interested in the science and applications of pressurised confined water in Metal-Organic Frameworks (#MOF), across different disciplines and career stages.

Pleased to share a recent work featured on the Front Cover of @ACS_AMI where we discovered that creating hydrophilic mesopores on #MOF nanocrystals can make a more stable water suspension as a compressible liquid pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… @ACSPublications #MyACSCover

The concept of compressible liquid follows our earlier collaboration work with Stuart James Group advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley… More about energy absorption for such systems can be found in an earlier work nature.com/articles/s41563-0…
