Research OverviewThe primary aims of my research programme are:
The benefits of achieving these aims would include:
I am currently concentrating on the development and application of Reflection Anisotropy Spectroscopy (RAS) for the study of biological systems and of a terahertz beamline and tissue culture facility on the ALICE accelerator at Daresbury for the study of biological systems. My research is set in the context of collaborations with other members of the Condensed Matter Group and the surface science research centre. |
