Autumn Chemistry Conference 2025
The lecture will be delivered in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, and streamed online. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the event.
Open to Year 12, 13 and interested Year 11 students (or equiv., 15-19 yrs) and their teachers and parents/carers interested in finding out more about the cutting edge research happening in the field of chemistry, and hosted by the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford.
Further information on the talks will be provided closer to the event.
About the speakers:
Dr Josef Boronski is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London and is interested in the chemistry of the elements from the s-, p-, and f-blocks of the Periodic Table. Before this role, Josef graduated with an MChem from the University of York in 2017 and subsequently undertook a PhD at the University of Manchester, which he completed in 2021. In the same year, Josef was awarded a Junior Research Fellowship at St John’s College, Oxford. Here, he initiated a programme of research into the chemistry of beryllium. In 2023, Josef won the Dalton Emerging Researcher Prize. |
Dr Shurui Miao is the Career Development Research Fellow in Chemistry at St John’s College. Before this role, Shurui graduated in 2018 with a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Sydney, Australia and he continued to pursue his postgraduate studies here. In December 2022, he moved to the University of Oxford joining Prof. Susan Perkin as a postdoctoral research associate. Shurui's work specialises in experimental physical chemistry and his research interests are centered around sustainability and self-assembly processes in solution. Shurui's current research focus on understanding how carbonate minerals form, which is crucial for carbon capture and storage, mitigating the effects of climate change. |
How to attend in-person
Sixth form students are welcome to attend unaccompanied, provided they are aged 16 or over on the day of the event and that they have given us an emergency contact name and number (you will be able to provide this information on the form below).
Priority for in-person spaces will be given to local state schools, but other local schools, and those further afield, are welcome to register for surplus places. A waiting list will apply and all those not allocated an in-person space will be invited to attend online.
Interested Year 11s are welcome to attend, however, please be aware that this event is aimed at Year 12-13 students.
We will be offering optional college tours. There will be opportunities to ask questions of current students during the tour.
