Milo Shaffer is a Professor of Materials Chemistry with the Nanostructured Materials and Devices Research Section. He has extensive experience of manipulation, functionalisation and characterisation of carbon nanomaterials and has studied a wide variety of nanotube composite systems, including both structural matrices and conducting polymers for electrochemical applications. Current interests include both carbon and inorganic nanotube synthesis, modification, characterisation and application. He completed his PhD in the Department of Materials Science in Cambridge. Following a period working as a materials technology consultant at Scientific Generics, focussing on technology exploitation and innovation, he enjoyed a research fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge. He joined Imperial in January 2003 and is currently co-director of the College's MRes Course in Nanomaterials. He is also a visiting lecturer within Cranfield's MSc in nanotechnology program.
