Postdocs and Fellows symposium celebrates the work of Postdoctoral Researchers and Fellows in the Department of Materials.
The symposium returned for its 12th year with an event held at White City campus. Attendees enjoyed a networking lunch, engaging research talks and a tour of the Royce Facility.

Prize Winners
The Postdoc and Fellows symposium showcased our scientists' research with a variety of engaging talks. This year's lineup featured many speakers, with three competition winners:
Best talk 1st place: Francesca Tallia
Best talk 2nd place: Chikwesiri Imediugwiu
Best talk 3rd place: Wern Ng
The Postdoc and Fellows symposium also celebrated our researchers by hosting a Scientific Image Contest.
Dr Max Attwood won the photo competition, with credit also to Jordan Passe, an undergraduate student working with him.
The scientific image shows polymorphism arising in coronene and tetracyanobenzene co-crystals when deposited rapidly onto a glass surface. Each polymorph (red or orange crystals) has different properties, for example, colour, magnetism, and conductivity, and shows the importance of controlling even the crystal packing structure when considering their performance for different applications.
