About
I lecture on materials engineering and solid mechanics for levels and I am Level 4 tutor.
My research focuses on nanomaterials including nanotubes and nanoparticles. The main interest resides on understanding catalysis and catalytic mechanisms at the nanoscale to control nanomaterial growth and properties, and ultimately bring all their technological potential to a wide range of technologies.
Qualifications
- Chemical Engineer
- Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Engineering
