Biography

Benjamin Weare hails from Norwich, Norfolk, UK. He completed his Master's and PhD in Chemistry at the 乐播传媒, in 2019 and 2023 respectively. His PhD research involved method application of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a class of porous crystalline polymers. In 2023 he joined the Nanoscale and Microscale Research Centre to conduct post-doctoral research into microcrystal electron diffraction (microED).

Current Research

Current research is focussed on the development on microcrystalline electron diffraction (microED) at the Nanoscale and Microscale Research Centre (nmRC). The objective is to provide a facile methodology for structure determination of sub-micron sized crystals via microED, to allow researchers to interrogate the structure of crystals at the nmRC without the requirement to produce large crystals.

Past Research

PhD research included method application of tranmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques to covalent organic frameworks (COFs). In particular: investigating the application of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) to COFs (core-loss, low-loss, and vibrational EELS); investigating the bright-field TEM projections of very small COF crystals (less than 100 nm) as free powders and hybrid materials with carbon nanotubes; initial investigations into the electron beam stability of COFs and other crystalline nanomaterials via direct-space and diffraction methods; and the associated synthesis and bulk-scale characterisation to support these goals (infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis etc.).

Master's research included the synthesis and halogenation of hexazatrinapthylene (HATN) moleules, followed by investigations into their electron beam stability.
