About me

Hello! I'm Ben, a PhD student at the University of Warwick. My research focus is the exploration of the phase spaces of configurationally complex, energy-relevant materials.

A Brief Academic History

  • BSc (Hons.) Chemistry (2:1), University of Sussex (2019)
  • MSc Chemical Research (Dist.), UCL (2020)
  • Research Assistant, Zwijnenburg Group, UCL (2021)
  • PhD Chemistry, University of Warwick (Submitted May 2025)

My Research

The field of "energy energy-relevant materials" is incredibly broad, and as I result, I have been investigating polymeric water-splitting catalysts, modelling novel electrodes for battery materials, and exploring the entire configuration space of heteroatom-doped graphene.
