As Professor of Materials in Oxford University, I am responsible for the NanoAnalysis group (see all current members here: People). Our Research makes use of state-of-the-art facilities, characterization techniques and novel data analysis routines to push our understanding of materials properties through high-resolution characterization. We have worked in the area of environmental degradation of nuclear reactors for over 20 years, with an excellent track record. Our work is internationally recognized for initiating the NanoSIMS, atom-probe and electron microscopy characterization of radiation damage, environmental cracking and surface oxidation at the highest levels of resolution. Current projects on nuclear materials are in collaboration with EDF, INSS, CNL or Westinghouse. I have published more than 150 papers (Publications) and currently hold several EPRSC and industrial grants
