Research Interests
I am an experimental physicist by training, with research experience of soft matter physics. My research focusses on the physics and applications of soft materials. Examples of soft materials include colloids (e.g. milk), droplets (e.g. emulsions), gels (e.g. bijels), polymers, and biological materials (e.g. blood). My current research interests include colloidal crystals (for energy applications), droplets (the coffee-ring effect), bijels, and (interfacial) rheology. I also have an interest in particle and materials characterization: confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, image analysis, machine learning, spectroscopy and (light) scattering. I am currently a Reader in the School of Physics & Astronomy at The University of Edinburgh, where I teach Scientific Image Analysis, run the integrated-masters dissertation projects course, and I supervise undergraduate & PhD research projects. Past collaborative projects include interfaces in energy materials (MISE) and equality, diversity and inclusion in STEM (Inclusion Matters eBase). Current collaborations include forensics (evaporation of blood droplets) and knowledge exchange with industry on formulation i.e. bespoke design of complex fluids (ECFP).
