#Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as #ferroelectrics, showing that #quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating #atoms carry enough heat to turn the material into a thermal switch when an #electrical field is applied externally.

The deadline to submit abstract to ISAF is at the end of this week already!

The scientific and cultural (for lack of a better word) programs are looking very exciting already!

The last experiment was completely outside of my comfort zone, but really exciting!

Weirdly, it may be one of my first experiments of the year on Dundee (certainly top 10). Fingers crossed to an easier year in 2023!

I have spent a little time familiarising with the accepted behaviour, so it is now time for a proper introduction.

I am a lecturer in material science at the university of Dundee 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I teach in both physics and mechanical engineering.
My research focuses on the relationship between electronic properties and the atomic structure of ferroelectrics.

I am also an avid hiker and crocheter
