Joseph Nielson completed his Master’s Degree in Chemistry at the University of Manchester in 2012 before working in a number of industry and start-up positions before returning to the University of Manchester to complete doctoral studies in the large-area electronics from liquid-liquid assembled 2D-materials under the supervision of Professor Brian Derby.

Following his doctoral studies, Dr Neilson took on a number of research positions at the University of Manchester, including as a Research Specialist - looking at graphene-embedded strain-sensing glass, under the supervision of Professor Brian Derby – and as a Research Fellow – examining liquid-liquid interface assembled 2D materials, under the mentorship of Dr David Lewis.

Within the ADMIRE Fellowship Programme, Dr Nielson has taken up a position within the laboratory of Professor Jonathan Coleman, where he will examine stacked liquid-liquid assembled monolayers of two-dimensional materials, for printed, flexible electronic applications.
