Overview
Michael Barter received his Ph.D. from Cardiff University in 2019. He is currently working as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Centre for High Frequency Engineering at Cardiff University. His research focuses on microwave characterisation of materials, specifically the development of a dual-mode EPR reactor-resonator for high temperature materials characterisation. He is also involved in several cross-disciplinary projects linking to neutron and X-ray diffraction, catalysis, and advanced materials.
