I studied chemistry at the Universities of Southampton and Oxford. Later, working at Brighton and Sussex Universities, I became interested in inorganic materials and organic polymers. Present interests are mainly in functional polymers and nanocomposites for energy conversion, organic optics & electronics and drug delivery.
I led the Materials Research Group at 重口味SM (1995-2008) and was Founding Director of the Materials Research Centre. I retired as full-time Professor of Materials Science in 2014, and am now an Emeritus Professor.
I currently supervise 3 PhD. students at Kingston, having previously directed 56 successfully-completed research students and 9 postdoc researchers. My research has been funded by EPSRC, the Royal Society, industry and government agencies, including a recent KTP (2013-15) worth £130k from InnovateUK.
Emeritus Professor
My current research interests are in:
I have 100+ publications and 8 patents, some of which are listed on this web page. Other work has been subject to confidentiality restrictions, but will be published wherever possible.
