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 joining Oxford in September 2012. He was the Organiser and Chair of the Symposium on “Hybrid and Metal-Organic Framework Materials” in the Euromat-2011 and -2013 Conferences. Recently, he has co-organised the Euromat-2017 conference held in Thessaloniki, Greece and chaired the Symposium dedicated to “Hybrid and Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Materials ”. |
Post-Doctoral Research Fellows:

Yueting's research is focussed on the mechanical properties of nanoporous materials such as zeolites and MOFs. He was formerly a KC Wong Research Fellow (2016-18) on a project on “Nanofluidic mechanical energy conversion using MOFs”. He explores the feasibility of utilising flexible framework materials for nanoscale mechanical energy dissipation and to interrogate unconventional energy conversion phenomena and related nanofluidic mechanisms. He obtained his PhD (2015) in Mechanical Engineering from the Tsinghua University in Beijing. |

Barbara's DPhil will focus 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). |
 |
Arun's DPhil will focus on the engineering of the physical properties of MOF materials and bespoke composite systems. His doctoral research is funded by the EPSRC DTP-Samsung studentship. Arun graduated with a First Class degree in Nanotechnology (Jan 2015) from the University of Rajasthan, India. Before joining Oxford, he was a project research assistant in the CSIR-National Physical Laboratory in New Delhi, India. |
