Hi, I’m Adam. I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen investigating the formation of clusters in solution and the structure of complex nanoparticles.
My research uses X-ray total scattering and pair distribution function analysis to understand the atomic structure and formation mechanisms of disordered materials.
Research Highlights
- Modelling the effect of defects and disorder in amorphous metal–organic frameworks. (Chem. Matter., 2022).
- Multivariate analysis of disorder in metal–organic frameworks. (Nat. Commun., 2022).
- Mixed hierarchical local structure in a disordered metal–organic framework. (Nat. Commun., 2021).
- Metal–organic framework gels and monoliths. (Chem. Sci., 2020) – Highly cited (150+).
Research Expertise
- X-ray pair distribution function analysis
