Karim Bahou
2018-
Karim graduated from the University College London with a first-class honours MSci degree, which included a final-year project under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Caddick and Dr. Vijay Chudasama working on hydroacylation chemistry. Upon the completion of his undergraduate degree, he conducted his PhD guided by Prof. Chris Braddock at Imperial College London working towards the synthesis of marine algae-derived brominated natural products, ultimately focussing in olefin metathesis, which included a year based at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) under the supervision of Dr Adam Meyer and Dr G. Paul Savage. Subsequently, Karim re-joined the Braddock group in a post doctoral research associate (PDRA) position to further investigate aspects of olefin metathesis.

Felix de Courcy-Ireland
2018-2019
Felix will join the group in October to look at some halogenated natural product derivatives. His previous experience includes a summer research placement in the lab of Dr Andrew Ashley, working on the activation of dinitrogen using Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) chemistry. When not in the lab, Felix enjoys: exercising, drinking in the pub with Josh Davies and reading the second edition of Clayden’s Organic Chemistry.
Josh Davies
2018-2019
Josh will join the group in October to look at some olefin metathesis chemistry. His previous experiences includes Glycosyl Isonitrile and Nucleoside synthesis with the Barrett group during a summer research project. In his spare time, Josh enjoys singing in the choir, drinking in the pub with Felix de Courcy-Ireland and quizzing with his local team, The Mint Imperials.
