Great day yesterday teaching powder diffraction refinement! Always so exciting to get to work with people from across UK academia and industry.
It's not too late to apply for the Malvern Panalytical Thesis prize for Physical Crystallography 2024! Application is incredibly simple! Please share with anyone you know who has submitted their thesis in the last two years. Find out more details here: lnkd.in/eg5uSZYN
Attention all Physical Crystallographers!!! The 2024 Malvern Panalytical Thesis Prize for Physical Crystallography is now open for entries! Deadline - Friday 14th June. The application is incredibly simple, so don't miss out! For full details please see pcg-scmp.org/Prizes
SPECIAL episode Materials Unlocked Podcast out today! It was such a privilege to talk to inspirational teacher @BeverlyMaloney (@STEM_RHS from @RHSSuffolk) and one of our brilliant undergraduates Annabel Lau about studying Materials Science at school and university!!
And just like that - we've already reached the last episode of the current series of the Materials Unlocked Podcast!! We go out on a great episode though - talking with @DrRichThackray and Durga Tilak about "The Big Picture", thinking about sustainability and recycling!
Are you a podcast listener interested in material science and engineering? Check out "Materials unlocked", a new podcast by #RAEngResearch Fellow @DrLROwen which explores the work that happens at the @RoyceInstitute based at @SheffUniEng. Listen here: sheffield.ac.uk/royce-institut…

Back in the normal hosting chair for this episode of Materials Unlocked. This time I got to talk about Sample Testing with Professor Russell Goodall and @lucy_farquhar (who, since recording, has submitted her PhD Thesis!! Congratulations!!).
It was really fun being on the podcast and talking about loads and loads of different types of sample testing! 👩🏼🔬🔬
Can you believe it?! Today we release the penultimate episode of our first series! Lewis is joined by Prof. Russell Goodall and PhD researcher Lucy Farquhar to unlock the mystery of sample testing!
Great way to kick off the final day of the #BCA24 and such a pleasure to get to chair the PCG Plenary given by Dr Silvia Ramos from @UniKent! Lots of exciting food for thought about XAS possibilities!!
Absolutely delighted to have been awarded the Physical Crystallography prize by the British Crystallographic Association (@britcryst)!! Many congratulations to the brilliant @HannaBostroem who was also awarded the prize.
Fantastic first day at the #BCA2024 spring meeting. A particular highlight was the incredibly heartfelt Parkin Prize Lecture given by the fantastic Dr Alex Browne. @britcryst
Time to get a taste of my own medicine!! We've flipped the script and I'm in the hot seat, interviewed by @DrKChristofidou and @FranSynnott for Episode 6 of Materials Unlocked!
Want to know more about Additive Manufacture? Episode 5 of Materials Unlocked is out now!! It was such a pleasure to talk to the brilliant Dr Felicity Freeman @fshbf2 with Ben Jolly and Jacob Whittle!
New episode of Materials Unlocked Podcast out now! I really enjoyed this one - Wunmi, Will and Yunus were such fun to talk with. Find out about how we go about making the samples!!
It's here folks!! Time to talk about computational models in Materials science (including machine learning)! Check out the Materials Unlocked podcast!!
It's time for Episode 3! Lewis in joined today by doctoral researcher Josh Berry and academic experts Dr Claire Utton and Prof. Hector Basoalto to discuss how we predict the properties a new alloy or material might have. Interesting stuff!
As an avid podcast listener, I can't tell you how exciting (and strange) it is to see your own podcast appear in the app. Second episode out today!! Pleasure to talk to @ProfIainTodd and Dr Dave Bowden from @UKAEAofficial with Frances Livera
Very excited that the first episode of the Materials Unlocked podcast I've been working on comes out today!! Featuring the brilliant @DrKChristofidou and two of our fantastic students!!
It's #PodcastDay! Here's our brand-spanking new one; Materials Unlocked. Dr Lewis Owen hosts this round-table chat with Dr Kathy Christofidou and 2 students all about materials science and why it's important to us. Find us on all podcast platforms... you won't regret it!
A wonderful couple of days at #SSCG23. Thanks so much to @SscgR for inviting me to give a keynote talk - it was such an honour!
Fantastic HEA conference so far! In particular a truly inspiring plenary talk this morning by @MitraLTaheri! #HEA2023
