Ian Ingram

Ian was born in Birmingham in 1986 and studied for his MChem at Oxford University graduating in 2009. His masters project, supervised by Dr Mark Moloney, concerned the use of carbene reagents for the surface modification of materials. Ian began his PhD in September 2009 and is working on the preparation of planar nano-electronic components including both transistors and self-switching diodes by nanoimprint lithography. This project encompasses the synthesis of state-of-the art and novel semiconducting polymers, materials processing, electronics and mechanical engineering elements.

Outside of work Ian trains in shotokan karate and obtained his black belt in 2011. He also enjoys hiking and motorcycling.
