Biography

Research Project: Simultaneous wide and small angle operando neutron total scattering to probe electrolyte ordering in supercapacitors.
Supervisors: Prof. Chris Howard (UCL), Dr. Tom Headen (ISIS)

Rakin graduated from Imperial College London in 2023 with an MEng in Materials Science and Engineering. His master’s project focused on developing In-Situ UV-Vis techniques for observing the environmentally induced degradation in perovskite solar cells in the McLachlan group. His PhD is a project joint between the Howard group at UCL and the disordered materials group at the ISIS neutron source. The work aims to use total neutron scattering at the NIMROD instrument to identify the structure of the double layer formed in electrochemical double layer supercapacitors.

The CDT provided me with the tools to develop my career as a researcher and to participate in Outreach activities to broaden my skills. I really enjoyed my time as a student in the CDT and look forward to continuing collaborations with the research groups there.
