James joined the House group in October 2026 under the co-supervision of Professor Peter Nellist. His research focuses on understanding and controlling short-range ordering motifs in Li-rich cathode materials. James is a member of cohort 9 of the Farday Institution PhD Training Programme. Prior to joining the group, James graduated from the University  of Oxford with an MChem in Chemistry (2026), where his Part II project focused on modelling and understanding short-range ordering of trimeron units in magnetite (Fe₃O₄), under the supervision of Professor Andrew Goodwin.
