Joe Glover was awarded his MSci in Chemistry from the University of Nottingham in 2016. During his final year, he worked with Prof Elena Besley to investigate the adsorption properties of novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for energy storage and carbon capture applications. Deciding to undertake a PhD in Nottingham, Joe's current research follows on from his masters involving the modelling and characterisation of MOFs with a focus on their gas storage, seperation and catalytic applications.

• Modelling of pore filling contamination and its effect on the BET surface area
• Investigating CO2 capture and fixation in post-synthetically modified MOFs
