Nooshin is originally from Iran. She holds an M.Sc. in Inorganic Chemistry from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST). Her previous research focused on designing MOF- and COF-based nanocomposites for sustainable photocatalysis. She is currently developing iron-based catalysts as sustainable alternatives to noble metals. Outside the lab, she enjoys reading, travelling, and hiking, and capturing moments through photography.
Edward joined the group in March 2026. His project is funded by the Liebig fellowship and focuses on Iron-main group cooperative catalysts for cross coupling reactions. Originally from Hampshire in the UK, Edward graduated in July 2024 from the University of Bath with an MChem degree in Chemistry. He completed his final year project working under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Johnson in the Johnson research group. His project focused on synthesising novel germylenes and stannylenes and their applications in insertion-style reactions. Following this, he worked as an NMR research technician at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Dr. Harold Mackenzie. In this role, he was responsible for managing cryogenics logistics, maintaining open access spectrometers, supporting the NMR Submission Service and providing technical support across the NMR laboratories. In his free time Edward enjoys playing and watching sports, specifically hockey, tennis, cricket, football, rugby and Formula 1. He enjoys playing and listening to music, and also likes to cook and bake.
Luise joined the group originally as a HiWi and has stayed with us for her MSc project. In this time, she has been working on the coordination chemistry of iron in its 1+ oxidation state.
