Congratulations to Dr Sarah Smoni Varghese for passing her PhD viva last week. During her PhD, Sarah worked the design of novel axially chiral P,N-ligands and their application in asymmetric copper catalysis. Thanks to Professor Aaron Aponick (University of Georgia) for acting as external examiner. Well done Sarah!

 

Congratulations to Dr Paul Nolan for passing his PhD viva recently. During his PhD, Paul worked on the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of pyrrolidines. Thanks to Professor Jerome Waser (EPFL) for acting as external examiner. Very well done Paul!

Congratulations to Dr Aoibhínn Downes for passing her PhD viva last month. During her PhD, Aoibhínn worked on the design and application of axially chiral P,N-ligands. Thanks to Professor Clement Mazet (University of Geneva) for acting as external examiner. Congratulations Aoibhínn!

Congratulations to Dr Zoë Byrne for passing her PhD viva recently! During her PhD, Zoë worked on the asymmetric synthesis of  lignan natural products. Thanks to Dr Andrew Marr for acting as external examiner. Congratulations Zoë!

Congratulations to Dr Niamh Lehane for passing her PhD viva last week! During her PhD, Niamh worked on Pd-catalysed asymmetric transformations of heterocycles. Thanks to Prof John Bower for acting as external examiner. Well done Niamh!

Congratulations to Dr Fionn McNeill for passing his PhD viva! During his PhD, Fionn worked on Pd-catalysed asymmetric transformations of O-heterocycles. Thanks to Prof Michael Greaney for acting as external examiner. Very well done Fionn!
