My work deals with Resilience, improving the scientific knowledge base underpinning decisions about potential hazards and how we respond to them. I'm particularly interested in reactive materials such as batteries and catalysts, and airborne materials such as aerosols and particulate matter. I am based at Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire as part of the University of Manchester at Harwell's Collaboration with Diamond where I develop X-ray imaging and in situ synchrotron techniques, and am a member of the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering.
I obtained my PhD in 2010 from Durham University in the field of X-ray scattering from thin film nanostructures under the supervision of Professor Brian Tanner and Professor Del Atkinson in the Department of Physics.
X-rays are a powerful and versatile probe able to reveal internal structural and chemical information in 3D. They have particular benefit to the porous, inhomogeneous and reactive materials used in electrochemical energy storage devices such as batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.
Multimedia examples of my research can be found on the X-ray Imaging facility website and the website of the Diamond-Manchester Branch I13-2. My research interests include:
