Francis Moissinac

Francis will start his PhD (Nano and Functional Materials) in the School of materials under the supervision of Dr. Suelen Barg and co-supervision of Dr. David Lewis in September 2019. He was previously awarded a MEng (Hons) in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Manchester primarily focusing on advanced composites and nano/functional materials. During his MEng studies he has developed substantial research experience on freeze-casting of aerogels with 2D materials. In his PhD, he aims to develop advanced manufacturing methods for creating novel functional composites, incorporating a versatile range of 2D materials and inorganic phases. His PhD study is funded by the Doctoral Training Alliance (EPSRC), PDS and Research Impact Fund.
