Research Interests

Study of the electrical properties of low-dimensional and nanoscale systems using probe microscopy, low temperature measurement, electron surface spectroscopy and Technology Computer Aided Design modelling. Interests cover a broad range of experimental condensed matter physics, including semiconductor surface science in silicon and diamond, superconducting devices and soft matter, such as polymers and proteins.

Previous Experience
