I have been at the Cavendish since 1983, and am currently head of the Polymers and Colloids group, which was set up in 1992. My areas of interest span from conventional synthetic polymers to polymers of natural origin; from colloidal systems such as cement to food colloids such as emulsions. The unifying theme is understanding structure-property-processing relationships. The tools used involve various microscopies, scattering (at synchrotrons and neutron sources) and spectroscopy, together with mechanical testing.
