Congratulations to Matt Mears who was awarded his Ph.D. and Latifah Alfhaid on her M.Sc. with Merit on January 12, 2012. Latifah did our M.Sc. in Nanoscale Science and Technology and will soon start a Ph.D. in my research group. I am in the centre and my academic dress is that of the University of Cambridge Ph.D.
Recent research highlights include the directed diffusion of single polymer molecules as well as work on the switchable adhesion of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.
Single polymer diffusion & switchable adhesion.
I am a co-author and co-editor of Nanoscale Science and Technology, a textbook introducing nanoscience and nanotechnology to final year undergraduates and graduate students. This book provides core material for much of our graduate-level training through nanofolio, the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield Nanotechnology Education Portfolio, of which I was, until recently, director.
