Rajeev is from India, and completed his M.Sci at DDU Gorakhpur University. Afterward, he obtained his PhD degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras under the supervision of Dr Arnab Rit in 2021. His PhD work was mainly focused on the synthetic and catalytic application of N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based transition metal complexes. After his PhD, he worked for a year in Gulf Oil International as an R&D Scientist. In 2023, he began working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Musgrave lab.

Benedict is a 1st year PhD student working on the polymerisation of organometallic complexes. He completed a BSc in chemistry at the University of Warwick in 2020, including a year in industry researching novel water-borne polymer technologies for AkzoNobel Paints and Coatings. This was followed by an MRes at the University of York on the synthesis and characterisation of quadruply-bonded dimolybdenum paddlewheel complexes, before joining the Musgrave group in February 2022.

Nadia is a 1st-year PhD student and is from Canada. She obtained her BSc[H] as a double major in Chemistry & Forensic Science from the University of Windsor (Ontario, Canada) in 2017, and subsequently obtained her MSc in Chemistry from UWindsor in 2019 under the supervision of Dr. Jeremy Rawson. Her research focused on the inclusion chemistry of sulfur-nitrogen and selenium-nitrogen heterocyclic radicals into porous metal-organic frameworks, as well as crystal engineering of radical-radical cocrystals. In this work, Nadia gained experience in main group and supramolecular chemistry, as well as a range of instrumentation techniques, particularly EPR spectroscopy and PXRD. Nadia came to King's two years ago and joined the teaching staff in King's Forensics in the summer of 2022 as a Teaching Fellow on the MSc Forensic Science and MSc Analytical Toxicology programmes at KCL. She acted as module lead for the students' chemistry modules, gaining significant experience across delivering lectures and laboratory practicals, designing assessments and grading of students' works, and overseeing chemistry-focused research projects. Nadia has since joined the Musgrave group for her PhD and will be working on investigations into bimetallic organometallic intermediates of significance to enzymatic processes.
