Head of Department
We are the oldest and largest department of our kind in the UK. We have internationally-leading research programmes in the synthesis, processing, and modelling of a broad range of materials (metals, ceramics, semiconductors, glasses, ceramic-matrix composites, polymers and functional materials) directed to diverse applications such as nuclear, solid oxide fuel cells, aerospace, biomedical, automotive, communications and electronics.
I am honoured to be in charge of this department, which is full of outstanding people, superior facilities and innovative research - truly world class!
