Main Current Research Interests

  • Pressure-induced phase transformations in functional materials: the case of titania 
  •   Spin-polarisation in organic systems:
    • Prussian Blue analogues
    • C60 fullerenes (in collaboration with ISIS neutron source)
    • Graphite
    • Nanopods for 2 qubit manipulation (in collaboration with Oxford University)
  • Lattice vibrations at surfaces:
    • TiO2 rutile {110}
    • CO on Pt{110}
  • Transition metals adsorbed on transition metals oxide surfaces
