Open Positions

Fully-funded PhD studentship starting October 2018.

Materials Engineering

Defects play a key role in determining the properties of materials. While they may contribute to material failure, they can also be engineered to deliver improved functionality. We study atomic scale defects with the ultimate aim of controlling them to our advantage. We employ a wide range of experimental and analytical techniques from the macro to the nano scale.
