Research Group
Gearing up for the Conference Dinner at the 2014 BCA Conference
The Wilson Group are a vibrant bunch, based in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath. We typically have around 10-12 members.
Our laboratory and main base is in Building 1-South (centred around Laboratory 1.49), on the Bath campus, but you will also frequently find us based within our major collaborations, the CMAC Crystallisation Centre at the University of Strathclyde, the Diamond Light Source and the Research Complex at Harwell.
Members of the group are also embedded within the M4 Metastable Materials research programme in Bath.
As well as the exciting range of research in which we are involved, we also have many other group activities; most recent activities include Canal boating, regular Spectroscopy in a Suitcase events, the South-West Big Bang Fair, kayaking on the River Wye and a forthcoming visit to the "Go Ape" outdoor adventure activity.
