I am one of the scientists responsible for the MuSR spectrometer at ISIS, I organise the ISIS Muon Training School, and I serve as the secretary of the International Society for Muon Spectroscopy. In 2014 the American Physical Society recognised me as an Outstanding Referee.
My research largely uses muon spectroscopy to study ionic diffusion, magnetism, and superconductivity. Some scientific highlights are listed below and a full list of my publications is available through ORCID or Researcher ID.
I am a co-investigator on the Faraday Institution Fast Start Project FutureCat characterising the ionic motion in newly synthesised Li-ion cathode materials and received funding from SINE2020 to develop online learning materials about muon spectroscopy that are hosted at e-neutrons.org.
