JCT is Professor of Nanoscale Engineering in the Department of Engineering Science and Tutorial Fellow of Balliol College at Oxford. His research interests are centred on the complex thermo-mechanical and physico-chemical behaviour of hybrids, composites, and a wide range of nanostructured materials. JCT completed his PhD at Cambridge (Downing College, 2006) in the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy, and stayed on as a Junior Research Fellow in Wolfson College (Cambridge, 2006-2010), and later as a Senior Research Associate before moving to Oxford in September 2012. He was the Organiser and Chair of the Symposium dedicated to “Hybrid and Metal-Organic Framework Materials” in the biennial EUROMAT Conference series. |

Barbara's DPhil is focussed on the development of porous nanocomposites and tuneable polymer membranes, integrating MOFs as multifunctional fillers to enable bioengineering of innovative applications. Her doctoral research is funded by the FAPEMIG scholarship from Brazil. She graduated with a First Class degree in Mechanical Engineering (Feb 2017) from the Federal University of Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys in Diamantina, Brazil. During the summer of 2015, Barbara was a research intern at the Orthopedic Nanotechnology Laboratory, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA). |
