Research areas

My research interests are in the study of inorganic materials, at the interface between solid state chemistry, condensed matter physics and ceramics. The major themes of this research are as follows:

1. Synthesis and development of new inorganic solids with useful and important electrochemical, electrical and magnetic properties. 2. Study of the relationships between stoichiometry, structure and electronic and ionic transport properties. 3. Optimisation of properties by control of composition and microstructure and development of improved materials for important applications in energy technology.
