Research Interest
Very wide interests in modelling, especially including defects and defect processes in solids. Examples of current interests include:
- Solid state approaches to quantum information processing
- Mesoscopic modelling (biomedical, ablation, solid state e.g., ceramic superconductors, organic light-emitting diodes)
- Electronic structure of defects in insulators and semiconductors
- Defect processes and non-radiative transitions, including classical and quantum diffusion
- Routes to spontaneous organisation in physical and biological systems
- Random fields in solids and their consequences
- The physical basis of biological behaviour, e.g., olfaction
- Reliability of non-destructive inspection
- Materials for fusion reactors
- Diamond
- Quantum dots and nanoscale behaviour
