I am particularly focused on the effect of strain on the mechanical and electronic properties of semiconductors and the relationship between structure and magnetic properties of thin film materials used for magnetic devices in the recording industry. Experiments have been performed at the Diamond Light Source at Didcot near Oxford with collaborators from Dublin and Freiburg. My research interests centre around the use of x-ray scattering to probe the structure of materials and the history of science in the High Medieval period. ![]() I am retired but give occasional public talks. Thus, I do not take new PhD students. I am fortunate to be granted office space in the Department from which to pursue continued academic activity Teaching activity Having retired as Dean for University Enterprise, I am now an Emeritus Professor of Physics with no departmental responsibilities. ![]()
