Overview
Dr Coulson's research interests focus around making functional materials. He is currently working under the supervision of Dr Lauren Hatcher towards synthesising novel framework materials exhibiting linkage isomerism and investigating their properties with a bespoke 3D-printed photocrystallography system.
