Olof Johansson is a senior lecturer in the School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh. Prior to this, he held a Royal Society of Edinburgh Research Fellowship (2014 - 2019). He received his MSc in Physics from Gothenburg University in 2007 and PhD in Chemistry from the University of Edinburgh in 2011. He was awarded the Fraser and Norma Stoddart PhD Prize in 2013 from the University of Edinburgh. Olof was a member of the RSE Young Academy of Scotland from 2016 - 2022 and was the treasurer for the RSC Photophysics and photochemistry interest group in 2018 – 2023.

Ryan joined the group in April 2021. He did his PhD at the University of Bristol investigating the ultrafast chemical dynamics of reactive intermediates. His research now focuses on the optical control of the magnetic anisotropy in single molecule magnets.

Binoy joined the group as a Ph.D. student in February 2023. He received his B.Sc degree from the University of Burdwan and his M.Sc from Banaras Hindu University, India. His research focuses on ultrafast photo-induced dynamics in Single Molecule Magnets.

Kyle joined the group as a PhD student in September 2020 after he completed his undergraduate degree in Chemical Physics at the University of Edinburgh. In his final year he did his project in the group looking at the ultrafast dynamics in Prussian blue analogues. Kyle is now studying the ultrafast dynamics in transition metal complexes particularly looking at single molecule magnets. 

Bowen joined the group in June 2024 for his PGT project at the University of Edinburgh after he completed his undergraduate degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. His project will focus on controlling  the movement of the sample stage using LabView during the ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy

Lola joined the group as a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Chemistry at the University of Chicago. Her project focuses on the study of the ultrafast dynamics of Tb(Pc)2 in thin films. In her free time, she enjoys running, cooking, and photography.
