Assembling materials of the future

I am interested in how solid-state materials assemble and function and how we can use enabling technologies to uncover these fundamental properties and improve them for chosen applications. My research primarily includes the development of milli-fluidic technologies with integrated inline analysis for the control and understanding of self-assembly systems. 

I design and build equipment which can simultaneously make new materials and analyse how they are forming, so we can discover how to make the exact materials for any application, be it more efficient batteries, sustainable home or remote climate control or even soundless and supportive ballet shoes

Why Nottingham?

I applied for a fellowship as I wanted to be able to take the opportunity to establish myself as a research leader by dedicating time to build my research group and vision. 

Nottingham has a great reputation for research and teaching both in the UK and worldwide. My research is very cross-disciplinary, taking in aspects of engineering, chemistry, pharmacy and computer and social sciences. The structure at Nottingham removes the boundaries between different disciplines and actively brings together academics who are interested in broad ranging topics, making it easier to find and work with new cross-disciplinary partners.
