Teaching Activities

I teach the third year module and co-ordinate the activities associated with the second year laboratory modules and . I also supervise two pairs of students.

Research Interests

I use low temperature magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic measurements to study the properties of highly correlated electron systems. I also use neutron scattering and muon spectroscopy in my work. Systems of interest include superconductors, magnetic oxides, and intermetallic systems.
