My research focuses on the synthesis, characterisation, and understanding of functional materials at the micro- and nanoscale. I am particularly interested in how structure, surfaces, and interfaces influence the electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of materials, and how these relationships can be exploited in emerging technologies.

Current research interests include:

• Carbon nanotube suspensions, anisotropic particle systems, and smart materials
• Functional thin films, oxide heterostructures, and nanostructured materials
• Nanoscale electrical, mechanical, and surface characterisation
• Scanning probe microscopy, including AFM, c-AFM, KPFM, PFM and nano-machining
• Structure–property relationships in advanced materials
• Surface and interface phenomena in functional materials and devices
• Optical characterisation and spectroscopy
• Nanoparticle systems and colloidal materials
• Materials for sustainable energy and environmental applications
• Data-driven approaches to analysing and interpreting experimental materials datasets

I am also interested in interdisciplinary collaborations that connect materials physics with engineering, energy technologies, and biological systems.
