Physics
I am currently studying for a DPhil (what Oxford call a PhD) in the Correlated Electron Systems Group, supervised by Professor Stephen Blundell. My research so far has focussed mainly on studying molecular magnets with muon spin rotation. (I’ve written an overview of my research for normal people where you can learn about muons, magnetism and muon spin rotation.)
I'm also involved in particle and accelerator physics outreach show Accelerate!.
Academic
- A list of publications I have co-authored.
- Talks.
- A systematic study of a family of molecular magnets using muon-spin relaxation, my poster from ICMM2010, Beijing, China.
- The two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet CuF2(H2O)2(pyz) studied with muon spin rotation, my poster from the µSR08 conference in Tsukuba, Japan.
General interest
Here is a mish-mash of other physics-related things I've written or otherwise created:
- The Higgs hoo-ha in 353 words: a quick summary of what they’re seeing at CERN.
- Particle accelerators outreach poster, designed for the Oxfordshire Science Festival 2010.
- A short serendipitous explanation of how to take infra-red photos with an ordinary digital camera.
- A comology essay: The Past & Future of the Universe.
- An article about possible weird life in the early Universe: Quark life.
- Circular argument: why, if you try to do geometry on spheres, it will balls up.
- My physics jokes are all original but be warned: they are about physics and so probably not very funny.
