Hello
We are an EPR spectroscopy group based at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, UK. We specialise in measuring nanometre distances between pairs of paramagnetic centres and relating these back to the structure of biological systems. We are keen to develop the methodology too. Please have a browse, and e-mail if you want to know more.
What have we been up to?
The Burn weekend with our Junior Honours Year students.
Congratulations to Dr Taylor on passing his viva! Thank you to her examiners Dr Maxie Roessler and Professor Andrea Di Falco.
Congratulations to Dr Russell on passing her viva! Thank you to her examiners Dr Emma Richards and Dr Juan Varela.
Happy 2024! We welcome Olivia King into the group as our project student this semester. Janet was elected as the new Secretary of the International EPR Society (IEPRS or IES) over the holidays and will be taking over from the outgoing Secretary Prof Aharon Blank over the start of the year. Janet is also taking on the Atomic Physics lectures in PH4042.
Christmas lunch with the group (+ Maria) today. Pizza of course!
Outreach at Dunfermline's Woodmill High School for an IoP organised Girls into Physics event with multiple high schools in attendance. Took the Size Matters exhibit. Went really well and what a fantastic team of volunteers we had from St Andrews! Here's a picture of the team taken by Janet, and some interaction (with the children not pictured of course).
A busy semester has finished. One in which both Hannah and Mike handed in their theses and Janet examined another PhD thesis in Manchester. Elena went to Bonn to work with Prof Olav Schiemann last week, and Janet went out for a shorter visit, see the photo. Also last week Ronan Graduated! (See the other photo).
Paper out today in Organic Letters with Manos Broumidis who visited the lab to make EPR experiments with his compounds under different illumination conditions. Manos's supervisor is Professor Filipe Vilela at Heriot-Watt University and there are many other contributing authors. Title: The Photochemical Mediated Ring Contraction of 4H-1,2,6-Thiadiazines To Afford 1,2,5-Thiadiazol-3(2H)-one 1-Oxides.
Elena is at the European Federation of EPR groups summer school this week in Geneva.
