Rich has completed multiple postdoctoral stints and has gained a lot of experience in a variety of experimental and analysis techniques. While his knowledge of the broad research themes of the lab is great, what strikes me most about Rich is his outlook towards helping others and contributing to the better organisation and running of the lab. He always takes the extra step towards setting up, maintaining and troubleshooting common pieces of kit in the lab and also (in a few cases) in the department and his taking time out to do so has helped a lot of us. He manages to do all of this while helping multiple people in the lab. In this respect, he is definitely someone I look up to and would definitely nominate for recognition.

Richard is a fantastic post-doc - he is incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about his research on agrivoltaics, an area of research he has developed and championed himself and driven forward very effectively, despite his project being very badly affected by both covid and the ODA funding cuts. He never lets anything get him down and he willingly steps up to take on all sorts of extra tasks outside the usual ones for a post-doc such as giving a talk for the University alumni event. The person organising that event described Richard as “a lovely young man, very bright and so committed to his research”. That sums Richard up beautifully! I've supervised over 20 post-docs and he is in a league of his own – an absolute joy to work with.

Jiahui has made a remarkable contribution during very difficult Covid times. Despite laboratory lockdowns, she has produced world class research outputs. The experimental work she has undertaken is extremely difficult, so to produce completely new understanding in the field is remarkable. This will result in several Journal publications in the top Journals. In addition, Jiahui has supervised undergraduate and masters project students. While this is as a standard part of her job, to successfully get the experimental data required for their thesis was a major challenge and a major success. Finally, Jiahui has been in charge of the laboratory, taking on board the additional H&S issues around Covid. An excellent performance by any standards.

Dr. Yicheng Yu has considerably exceeded his targets. He worked exceptionally well on the EPSRC Programme Grant EP/S016813/1 (www.pipebots.ac.uk). He also took a 9-month secondment to work on the InnovateUK grant (https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=76593). Despite the complex pandemic situation he adapted well to operate remotely.  He restarted and intensified his experimental campaign as soon as the labs reopened in July 2020. He published 1 position paper, 2 journal papers and 1 patent application. His work has helped to develop Acoustic Sensing Technology (http://acousticsensing.co.uk/) an advanced acoustic instrument to inspect hundreds of thousand kilometres of buried pipes managed by Highways Agency and key water utilities in the UK.

Jon has a contract research position, however he has become the ‘go to’ person for advice on how to do measurements in our Optoelectronics labs. He helps PhD students, UG and MSc project students with their measurements and in interpreting their results. He has also taken on the responsibility for much of the safety documentation in this laboratory, involving cryogenic liquids and lasers. He also officially trains other users in how to use the equipment properly and safely. During the last year as we returned to campus, he was closely involved with ensuring that Covid safety regulations were being met and organised an equipment booking system. He does all this with good humour and never seems to find it an imposition on his time.

Melissa is a great colleague and since joining our project this summer has been a fantastic post doc on a complex multi-country, interdisciplinary project. Melissa got up to speed very fast and then started taking the initiative, noting with skill, expertise, thoughtfulness and a great attitude what further needed doing and then led on it. Our Jordanian partners as well as the Sheffield team think very highly of her. Throughout the various challenges faced by the project, Melissa has shown great resilience and has always contributed to solutions. Her commitment to making a positive impact through action research together with partners is clear. We all really enjoy working together with her! Thank you Melissa!

Liam has been a postdoc in the group for a relatively short period of time, but has already had input into a large number of projects, including some in which he is the main researcher (which have required initiative and efficiency to make good progress in the time available) and also by helping other group members with various analysis techniques that they couldn't access or be trained on over the recent period.  The fact that the group is on track with its work is due in no small part to this recent effort - thank you Liam!

As well as working very efficiently on her research, Dan has been a very helpful presence in the group, very happy to assist other group members with techniques (which has been very helpful indeed with the pause on training in several areas that has happened during the pandemic).  Dan is always ready to help when asked, and is a happy and positive influence on the research group.

Tom is an outstanding technical problem solver. Among other things, he has written software to enable in-situ monitoring of our semiconductor growth processes, as well as building a new electroluminescence setup, almost from scratch. His hard work keeps the labs functioning!

Lizzie has the most positive attitude and honesty, which influences everyone in our team. She has supported me through a lot of troubleshooting in the lab and has been a very supportive friend outside of the lab. I value her knowledge and the organisation she shows at work. She has taught me a number of positive habits and more efficient ways of performing assays (to save time or reagents).

Naomi has the ability to make any intense situation calmer with her expertise and cheerfulness. She never diffuses her stresses onto people surrounding her. She has helped me through a number of difficult assays and their analysis. The knowledge she has passed onto me motivates me to achieve her level of understanding. She has thoroughly answered every question I have ever asked. Every time I speak to Naomi, I feel uplifted and at ease, which I think is one of the most significant traits of a post doc, who is also a role model.

Arua has brought a new research topic in the lab (electrochemistry) with a lot of enthusiasm and I am very happy that me and others in the lab are starting to understand this technique at a much higher level.

Tom is making outstanding contributions to teaching masters and UG students in the lab. He manages to enthuse them about the various projects we are running and students have as a result made excellent progress often in difficult (covid) circumstances. I think they will fondly remember the time they worked with him.

João has shown great agility over the last year in working across three very diverse projects, involving vehicle design, health behaviour modelling, and local government decision support (an eclectic bunch!). He has really impressed by the speed with which he has got to grips with an unfamiliar domain and by not being afraid to just get stuck in with established teams of researchers. João's recent presentation of his work for the SIPHER Consortium really helped other team members gain some insight into this part of the project for the first time. His 'tweets of the week' are also a highlight of the research group's team meetings. Muitíssimo obrigado, João, for your all round great contribution.
