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
