Our third session focused on opportunities for students & research technical professionals through UKSAF, @uk_itss & the NTPMI. Many thanks to Kay Doncom & Polly Greensmith for their talks. The session wrapped up with Keith Butler from UCL on AI methods for materials discovery.

We are at @UKSAF1 today, head on down and chat to our team. There is a lot to talk about. #research #surfacescience #thinfilm #SpinningRotorGauge #spectroscopy #vacuumtechnology #vacuumscience #vacuumchamber #ultrahighvacuum #surfaceanalysis #materialsresearch #nanotechnology

Our second session sees Karen Syres from the University of Lancashire talking on ionic liquid modified perovskites, followed by Daniel Lee from the University of Manchester describing work using NMR for surface analysis.

@UKSAF1 @DaveXPS Great talk from Johannes Lischner on theoretical approaches to XPS

Our first session of the day sees Geoff Thornton from UCL speaking on electrolyte interfaces with oxide surfaces, followed by Johannes Lischner from Imperial College with a talk on modelling core electron binding energies at metal oxide surfaces.

Welcome to the delegates attending our 2026 Winter Meeting at UCL. @DaveXPS and @Robert_Palgrave have opened the meeting and we look forward to an enjoyable day of surface science!

We are pleased to confirm another speaker for the UK Surface Analysis Forum meeting at UCL on January 7th. Geoff Thornton will be presenting his group's work on "Structure of electrolyte interfaces with oxide surfaces" at the conference. Registration: uksaf.net

We are pleased to have Keith Butler (UCL) speaking at the next UKSAF meeting. His research uses data-driven methods & quantum mechanics calculations to design new materials & help accelerate the experimental characterisation of materials. Registration: uksaf.net/?page_id=20
