Tim Rosser

Postdoctoral Fellow

Tim obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2016, working in the group of Erwin Reisner. His PhD work focused on the immobilisation of molecular catalysts for photoelectrochemical water splitting and CO2 reduction. This was followed in 2017 by a 6 month JSPS post-doctoral fellowship in Japan working in the Domen-Minegishi laboratory at the University of Tokyo. There he worked on photocathodes for photoelectrochemical H2 production. In October 2017 he then moved to Grenoble to work in the SolHyCat group of Vincent Artero. His research interests now concern CO2 reduction. He likes racket sports and cycling and is looking forward to exploring the area around Grenoble.
