 Postdoctoral Research Assistant My PhD research involved the epitaxial growth of III-V semiconductor nanostructures such as nanowires and quantum dots along with their morphological, structural and optical characterization. It also included the study of the aforementioned structures for implementation in optoelectronic devices. My current research focuses on the synthesis of perovskite thin films with a high potential to be employed for device applications such as solar cells. g.boras@qmul.ac.uk Supervisor: Dr Lei Su |

 Postdoctoral Research Assistant My current research projects mainly focus on synthesis and development of low-cost and environment -friendly thermoelectric materials and scaling-up synthesis of high-performance thermoelectric materials for device fabrication. I am interested in exploring new materials, investigating the effects of synthesis on materials' microstructures and optimizing materials' electrical and thermal transport properties via doping, band structure engineering, microstructure modification, high-entropy effects, etc. I am experienced in different synthesis methods (such as spark plasma sintering, flash sintering, magnetic alignment, mechanical alloying, etc), advanced characterizations of thermoelectric materials and interpretations of electrical and thermal transport properties. +44 (0)20 7882 2734kan.chen@qmul.ac.uk Supervisor: Dr Emiliano Bilotti |

 Postdoctoral Research Fellow Circadian biology in mechanosensitive cells: My current research investigates the interaction between physiological and pathological mechanical stimuli and the circadian clock in mechanosensitive cells, such as the cardiovascular system and musculoskeletal system.
Bioenergetics and metabolism: I discovered the Crabtree metabolic phenotype in chondrocytes and studied the contribution of energy metabolism to chondrocyte phenotype. I devised my own techniques for characterizing the bioenergetic phenotype in living cells, which have been used to understand the metabolism of stem cells during differentiation, cartilage cells, cancer stem cells.

 Postdoctoral Research Assistant My work is focused on understanding how the collagen network in cartilage contributes to the tissues mechanical properties both in health and disease. More specifically, I utilise small angle X-ray scattering techniques combined with in-situ mechanics to probe the complex nanoscale mechanisms within the tissue. This combined methodology provides real time information into how the collagen fibrils behave under tissue level loading. +44 (0)20 7882 3119s.r.inamdar@qmul.ac.uk Supervisors: Dr Himadri Gupta, Prof Martin Knight |

 Postdoctoral Research Assistant My research focuses on the vascular biology and vascular engineering. Particular interest goes to the endothelial glycocalyx, a protective layer along the luminal surface of the blood vessel. I aim to elucidate how the glycocalyx develops and sheds under healthy and diseased vascular conditions. I also work on endothelial mechanics and directional cell migration on different types of substrate, with the ultimate gold of understanding the process of vascular stiffening and aging. +44 (0)20 7882 7821wei-qi.li@qmul.ac.uk Supervisor: Prof Wen Wang |

Postdoctoral Research Assistant I am currently working on an interdisciplinary CRUK-EPSRC funded project across both SEMS and Barts Cancer Institute. This work, in partnership with Emulate, aims to develop a new organ-on-a-chip model of breast cancer bone metastasis which we will use to study the interactions which occur between breast cancer and bone cells. We believe the interactions occurring between these two cell populations influences the metastatic nice and secondary tumour development with the hypothesis that osteocyte ciliogenesis is crucial during these stages.

 Postdoctoral Research Assistant Organic photovoltaics: I mainly focus on stability of nonfullerene organic photovoltaics, including thermal stability, photostability, photochemical stability and their shelf lifetime. The vertical phase separation in bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) layer and built-in potential across the BHJ during aging test are investigated by XPS technique and transient photocurrent. Meanwhile, I am exploring the device physics of nonfullerene organic solar cells and do some work on device engineering to make high-performing organic solar cells with excellent stability.
