Amorphous and Nanostructured Solids

  • the synthesis, characterisation, and modelling of crystals, nanocrystals, sol-gels and glasses.

Soft Functional Materials

  • the synthesis, characterisation and application of organic and macromolecular materials. 

Theory and Modelling of Materials

  • first principles modelling of rare earth materials, carbon nanotubes, and oxides, classical modelling of ionic solids, modeling of disordered structure and strong-correlations theory.
