Our 5 Main Areas of Focus in our Research currently
We collaborate with leading researchers and facilities worldwide
Who we are
I’m a Royal Society University Research Fellow and a Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Warwick, and this is my research group consisting of myself, five research students, three postdoctoral fellows, and a large number of active collaborations.
About us
Our focus is on understanding the link between microscopic structure of a material and its relationship to the observed macroscopic property. We are engaged in a broad range of research projects from the more fundamental science of understanding phase transitions which occur as a results of orbital, magnetic and molecular-like ordering, to understanding technologically interesting properties such as ferroelectricity and negative thermal expansion.
Our work is underpinned by detailed crystallographic studies at central facilities and symmetry analysis of the probed microscopic structures. We also work closely with theorists to develop fundamental mechanistic insights.
