Nathalie successfully defended her PhD viva on the 30th of March – massive congratulations Dr Fernando!

Nathalie’s thesis included her groundbreaking work on “The Structural & Electronic Effects of X-ray Radiation on Small Molecule Crystals”. You can read key parts of her PhD work here and here. Throughout her PhD she also contributed greatly to the group’s overall activities, particularly with her expertise in X-ray diffraction and she was an author of ten publications throughout her time in the group. Nathalie’s examiners were Dr Elisabetta Arca and Prof Andy Beale – thank you!

We are very sad to see Nathalie leave the group but also 1000000% delighted that she’s finished an outstanding PhD and is now an Associate Technology Consultant at IBM.
