Currently undertaking a placement project for his final term, his project involves making polymer particles that have the ability to degrade/reconfigure by introduction of a CKA (cyclic) monomer, hereby introducing an ester group in the backbone.
Whenever he has free time, he enjoys playing drums and guitar, reading, boxing and rating local restaurants.

Anjali Manoj

undergraduate researcher

I started my journey at the university of Warwick in the year 2023 as an undergraduate student. Having previously studied Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics at Sixth Form, I chose to pursue my interest in Chemistry at Warwick. Since I have not experienced Chemistry research, in much depth, I decided to join BonLab carry out a 2024 summer project on Dynamic Sustainable Alkyds and Polyesters for Coatings and Adhesives.

During my free time, I enjoy reading, playing badminton and drawing.

Neil Prabhakar

undergraduate researcher

Neil is a second-year undergraduate who joined the BonLab in November 2023 while pursuing his studies. His research is centred on the phase behaviour of synthetic poly(vinyl acetate)-based copolymers in hydrocarbon solvents. He plans to continue this work as a URSS student in the summer of 2024. Beyond his research, Neil is passionate about education; having tutored for years, and currently supervises in the labs as part of a outreach initiative between the BHCG and a local school. In addition to his academic pursuits, Neil is a gigging musician, proficient on the tenor sax and bass guitar, and enjoys cooking in his spare time.
