Evie Ladbrook

I started my PhD in 2021 as part of the Analytical Science Centre for Doctoral Training (AS CDT) at the University of Warwick. Prior to this, I completed an interdisciplinary degree in Natural Sciences where I specialised in physics at the University of York. My research projects centre around using a variety in situ crystallographic techniques (including single crystal and powder X-ray and neutron diffraction, in addition to techniques such as 3DXRD/diffraction resolved tomography) to investigate structure-property relationships in perovskites and related materials. This includes the application of strain and electric fields as well as high pressure and variable temperature experiments to probe materials exhibiting ferroelectricity, particularly relaxor and hybrid improper ferroelectricity, and superconductivity.
