Biography
Will completed his MEng and PhD in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London under the supervision of Profs. David Payne and Johannes Lischner. His PhD project focused on the synthesis of heterogeneous nanoparticle catalysts via exsolution, with particular emphasis on probing their electronic structure and understanding how their crystal structure and surface chemistry evolve under the highly reducing conditions applied during synthesis.
Outside the lab, he enjoys reading, watching films, and spending time outdoors running, hiking, swimming, cycling, and kayaking.
