Dr Paul Adamson

Paul received his MChem (2006) and DPhil (2010) degrees in Chemistry at the University of Oxford. His DPhil research was carried out under the supervisor of Prof. Simon Clarke and focussed on the structure, magnetism and intercalation chemistry of layered oxychalcogenides.

Paul first joined the Bruce Group in St Andrews as a postdoctoral research fellow working on silicate-based cathode materials as part of a TSB (Innovate UK project). In 2012 he took up a PDRA position on beamline I11 at Diamond Light Source and was involved in the construction of the world's first beamline for long duration experiments. Paul spent a period in industry, first developing materials for sodium ion batteries at Sharp Laboratories of Europe followed by advanced lithium ion cathode materials at Johnson Matthey.

Paul joined the Bruce Group as Research Coordinator in November 2018.
