Shurui Miao among finalists for Emerging Investigator Award

Congratulations to Dr Shurui Miao, who was named last week as one of the six IACIS Emerging Investigator Award finalists at the joint meeting of the 18th International Association of Colloid and Interface Scientists, and the 99th American Chemical Society Colloids and Surface Science Symposium. This highly competitive award, which is only given every three years, is to recognize young scientists within six years of finishing their PhD.

Shurui studied at the University of Sydney and received his PhD in 2023, where his research focused on x-ray and neutron scattering techniques to study long-range structures and dynamics in ionic liquids. He joined the Perkin group at the University of Oxford first as a PDRA and now a Career Development Research Fellow with St John's College. His research now focuses on understanding nucleation of carbon-containing minerals under confinement and charge correlation effects at the solid-liquid interface.
