MRes Students

Alexander Lin-Vines
Alexander is a MRes student that is studying high entropy alloys where he has produced a 5+ element metallic material. His work also includes studies on HEAs to allow for more control over desirable properties. Alex’s current research includes studying the neutron and ion radiation resistance of metallic 5+ element materials, he is also calculating the Frenkel defect energy of the material which will allow for greater insight on how long the material will last.

India Marshall
India joined our research group as a semester intern, investigating the feasibility of repurposing nuclear waste to break down plastic waste. This research accomplished primarily through advanced analytical techniques following experimental studies. This project was supervised by Dr Lee J. Evitts. In Autumn 2020, India re-joined the group to do a KESS sponsored MRes where she will conduct research looking at how losses can be reduced in hydraulic systems for automotive applications.

Technical and Support Staff

Dr John Thomas
John has over 20 years of research experience in academia including synthesis and characterization of solid-state materials. His capabilities extend to high-temperature synthesis, spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and various diffraction techniques. He has successfully built complex systems operating under ultra-high vacuum with samples at elevated temperatures as well as instruments operating at cryogenic conditions

David Williams
David is the Senior Lab technician within the Nuclear Futures Bangor team. David completed his MChem in 2016 at Bangor University and has a background of 4 years within the chemical industry. He is a Welsh speaker who grew up around the Bangor area.

Samuel Owen
Sam completed his integrated masters degree studying chemistry in Bangor University in 2019. Sam's final year project was a DFT based study of a boric acid dynamic combinatorial library, he also has experience with IoT systems. His role at NFI is to aid academics and students with IT.

Emily Robinson
Emily studied art and graduated from the University of Arts London in 2018, she is a Welsh speaker and local to the Bangor area. Her main duties as a clerical officer is to assist the NFI in their daily activities and offer support for Students and Staff.
