Dr. Enrique Jimenez-Melero Senior Lecturer in Radiation Materials Science Materials Performance Centre Department of Materials University of Manchester Oxford Road Manchester M13 9PL Email: enrique.jimenez-melero@manchester.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0) 161 306 8590
Enrique's research focuses on understanding and predicting the phase stability, micromechanics, work hardenability, and radiation tolerance of complex (ultra-) high-strength steels and refractory alloys for structural applications in nuclear fission & fusion power plants, and also in the automotive and aerospace industries. His group performs real-time synchrotron X-ray power diffraction under mechanical stresses and elevated temperatures, and also single crystal 3-D X-ray diffraction (3DXRD) experiments on polycrystalline materials. This synchrotron-based work is complemented with analytical electron microscopy, neutron scattering and positron annihilation spectroscopy. Their specific research on nuclear materials revolves around understanding the radiation-induced microstructural damage and its impact on the structural integrity of reactor components, together with radiation protection and the development of safe systems of work to produce, handle and test radioactive material. |

Dr Andrew Thomas
Email: andrew.g.thomas@manchester.ac.uk My research primarily utilizes X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study surface chemistry and electronic structure of a wide range of materials, and covering a number of applications. Recently it has focused on understanding surface reactions under (near) ambient conditions using Near-Ambient Pressure XPS and broadband vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy. |

Dr Gavin Bell Department of Physics University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL
Email: gavin.bell@warwick.ac.uk
I work in materials physics and lead the Surface, Interface & Thin Film Group at Warwick. The focus of my research is the growth by molecular beam epitaxy of functional materials, applying the techniques of surface science to understand epitaxial crystal growth. The systems include topological and magnetic materials for spintronics, 2D materials like graphene and boron nitride, and surface-modified photocathode.

Prof Andrea Russell Professor of Physical Electrochemistry School of Chemistry University of Southampton Highfield Southampton SO17 1BJ
Email: a.e.russell@soton.ac.uk My research focuses on electrocatalysis and electrode processes, using a wide range of spectroscopic and structural techniques to characterise electrode materials and the electrode/electrolyte interface. My group and I have made use of synchrotron sources throughout Europe and the USA.
As a member of the DUC, I am particularly interested in hearing from users regarding the development of facilities, sample environments, equipment, and data analysis codes. In my view the DUC should be the voice of the user community in helping to direct resources in collaboration with the science teams at Diamond. |

Dr Imad Ahmed Research Fellow in Experimental Nanochemistry Department of Earth Sciences University of Oxford South Parks Road Oxford, OX1 3AN
Email: Imad.ahmed@earth.ox.ac.uk
My research interest falls in four key areas: (1) physicochemical interactions at the bio-nano interface, (2) relationship between nanostructure, bioavailability and their ultimate health implications, (3) development of chemical speciation sensors for environmental and industrial applications, and (4) the application of synchrotron radiation-based spectroscopy and scattering methods to problems in environmental chemistry, biogeochemistry and environmental health. |

Dr Sean Connell
The main aim of my group is to understand molecular events that drive ribosomal subunit biogenesis, and understand the mechanism of action of antibiotics and natural inhibitors of protein synthesis. The underpinning theme is to contribute a structural understanding of reaction mechanisms using cryo-EM to answer not only essential biological questions but drive drug development and/or biotechnology applications.
