Chemistry Lab Dinner

2024 Chemistry Lab Dinner

It is a pleasure to invite you to the annual Thomas Graham Lecture and Chemistry Lab Dinner on the 22 November 2024.

The Thomas Graham Lecture will be presented by Professor Graham Worth, Professor of Physical Chemistry.

Graham's research in theoretical chemistry focuses on the development of a quantum dynamics computer program to simulate fundamental molecular reactivity, with a particular interest in photo-excited reactions and non-adiabatic effects.

The programme for the evening is:

2022 Chemistry Lab Dinner

It is a pleasure to invite you to the annual Thomas Graham Lecture and Chemistry Lab Dinner on the 25 November 2022. We are thrilled to be able to hold these events again.

The Thomas Graham Lecture will be presented by Professor Andy Beale, this year’s recipient of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2022 Materials Chemistry Division Mid-Career Peter Day Award.

Andy is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, Group leader at the Research Complex at Harwell, Chief Scientific Officer & co-owner of Finden Ltd and a management group member of the EPSRC-sponsored UK Catalysis Hub. His interests lie in establishing structure-function relationships in materials, including catalytic solids and energy storage materials as a function of both time and space using X-ray & optical spectroscopic and scattering methods applied under in situ and operando conditions.

The programme for the evening is:

4:30pm  Welcome tea/coffee	Nyholm Room, Christopher Ingold Building

Chemistry Lab Dinner 2023

It is a pleasure to invite you to the annual Thomas Graham Lecture and Chemistry Lab Dinner on the 24 November 2023.

The Thomas Graham Lecture will be presented by Professor Tom Sheppard, this year’s recipient of the 2023 SCI UK Process Chemistry Award.

Tom is a Professor of Organic Chemistry and Head of the Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology Section. Tom’s research is focused on the development of new methods for organic synthesis. The research projects seek to provide novel solutions to challenging chemical problems, which will facilitate the synthesis of small, highly functionalised organic molecules with potential applications in drug discovery or chemical biology.

The programme for the evening is:

4:30pm  Welcome tea/coffee	Nyholm Room, Christopher Ingold Building
5:00pm  Thomas Graham Lecture	Roberts Building 106, Torrington Pl, London WC1E 7JE.
