Personal profile

Research interests

Following my PhD in Bristol where I focused on experimental and theoretical determinations of Fermi surface geometries, I worked for three years as a postdoc at the SPring-8 synchrotron in Japan utilising soft x-ray spectromicroscopy techniques to image magnetic domains in Nd-Fe-B magnets. Over the last four years, I have been a postdoc in Cardiff researching novel techniques for studying quantum states in bulk crystals. Now I am Lecturing in Bath, I am supervising a final year project which involves simulating quantum spin dynamics for direct comparison with muon spin relaxation experiments in correlated condensed matter systems.

Teaching interests

I am currently teaching material physics, experimental physics, and computational physics courses.
