Our team
As a group, we work hard to maintain a relaxed and supportive environment, preferring an emphasis on creative thinking instead of hours at the bench. We are always on the lookout for dynamic and creative individuals to join us. The group works best when we have a good gender balance, and we are 100% LGBTQ+ friendly.
Andrew Goodwin
Andrew is Professor of Materials Chemistry and University Research Professor at Oxford. He studied at Sydney and Cambridge before moving to the ICL in 2009. Andrew is a Fellow of St John’s College.
Ana Fairbairn
Ana is the group PA. She is originally from Brazil and has studied nutrition in the UK. Ana was a PA in the Medical Sciences Division before joining the group.
Simon Cassidy
Simon is the Diffraction and Magnetometry Facility Supervisor in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, and is in charge of the advanced diffraction facilities used in the group. He was both an MChem and DPhil student at Oxford, supervised by Simon Clarke. Simon is a Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry at Somerville College.
Theodosios Famprikis
Theo is a Royal Society Newton Fellow with research interests in energy materials. He holds the Malcolm Green Early Career Fellowship in Inorganic Chemistry at Balliol College.
