Overview
I am currently a Professor in Physics, and enjoy researching many aspects of superconductivity and magnetism. I enjoy probing these materials with both bulk and local probes to understand the properties of materials. I use neutrons and muons to probe magnetic frustrated spin systems and have recently built a unique high frequency ac susceptometer to probe spin dynamics in a frequency range which has been difficult to achieve.
I have recently started to investigate diamond with the goal of probing new physics as the quantum limit is approached.

Research
I am interested in magnetic systems and study them using magnetometry and central facility techniques, which include muons, neutrons and X-rays. I work international facilities and have built an ultra low temperature (<100mK) magnetic lab in Cardiff to compliment these investigations. I have in the past spent a lot of time investigating frustrated systems; including spin ice which has recently been described as an emergent source of magnetic monpoles in a condensed matter setting. I also investigate correlated electron systems in both bulk and thin films, an area which has great potential technological applications.
I have recently started to work on the properties of superconducting diamond in an attempt to make devices that can approach the quantum limit
