Liam Nagle-Cocco

About

Liam studied an integrated masters in physics at University College London, with a year abroad at the University of Washington. During this time he worked on Na-ion anode materials with the Clean Materials Technoogy Group, van der Waals superconductors with Professor Chris Howard, and computational study of laser ablation of silicon with Professor Dorothy Duffy. He subsequently obtained his PhD in physics in the Dutton Group at the University of Cambridge, working at the interface between materials physics and solid state chemistry to study Na-ion battery cathode materials, before transitioning to a postdoc in the Strange Group at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) of Stanford University, working on materials characterisation for water-splitting applications as part of the H2NEW consortium.

Liam is now at the Department of Materials of the University of Oxford as a postdoc in the Energy Materials Interfaces Group, using synchrotron techniques to study degradation of battery cathodes in affilation with the Faraday Institution’s LEAP project.
