Dr Charles Romain
Charles is a Lecturer in Chemistry at Imperial College London. He leads a research group interested in the development of sustainable polymers from renewable resources, designing new metal catalysts and improving material end-of-life.
Through his scientific journey as a researcher in chemistry, Charles has developed an interest and an expertise in research data management and FAIR data. He is curently co-leading the Research Data Strategy discusion group at DigiFAB which aim to identify, disseminate and implement good practices for data sharing and publication in chemistry.
Justin Koh
Justin is an undergraduate student from NTU, Singapore. In the course of his studies, he has developed an interest in polymer and inorganic chemistry, hoping to combine the 2 in his research and further studies.
During his current research project, he is studying heterobimetallic cooperativity in polymerisation catalysis. In his free time, he enjoys Riichi Mahjong, table tennis and music.
Alicia Chin
Alicia is an undergraduate MSci student at Imperial College London. She chose a degree in Chemistry as she wants to develop solutions for plastic waste.
Her Master’s project involves developing block co-polymers. Outside of her degree, she enjoys dancing, yoga and all things artistic.
Hanxiao Pu
Hanxiao is an MSci student at Imperial College, working on the development of bio-based polymers. Her project focuses on exploiting non-covalent interactions in polymerisation catalysis.
She is interested in sustainable chemistry that targets plastics pollution. Outside of academia, she enjoys scuba diving and musical theatre."
