RESEARCH TEAM
Dr L. R. Johnson
Associate Professor, Nottingham Research Fellow, EPSRC-UKRI Innovation Fellow
Lee Johnson received a MChem (Hons.) degree from Newcastle University in 2006 after which he completed a PhD in physical chemistry and electrochemistry at the University of Nottingham. In 2011, he was awarded an EPSRC Doctoral Prize for the development of scanning electrochemical microscopy methods. In 2012, he joined the research group of Prof P.G. Bruce FRS where he focused on understanding the elementary processes taking place within the lithium-O2 battery using fundamental electrochemical methods. In 2017, he was awarded a Nottingham Research Fellowship, University of Nottingham, followed by an EPSRC Fellowship in 2018. In 2019 he was promoted to Associate Professor. His current research interests focus on understanding interfacial reactions, degradation, and charge transfer, in next generation batteries.

William Townsend
PhD Student
William completed his MSci degree in Chemistry at the University of Nottingham in 2018. Starting his PhD the same year he joined the Low-Dimensional Materials and Interfaces (LDMI) Doctoral Training Program, working under Andrei Khlobystov, Lee Johnson and Graham Newton. His research focuses on the development of hybrid nanomaterials, chiefly metal oxides encapsulated in carbon nanotubes, for application in next generation battery materials. Outside the lab he can usually be found climbing or hiking in the Peak District and enjoying the outdoors.
