Profile

I obtained my Masters in Physics (MPhys) from the University of 91Ö±²¥ in 2004. My PhD award in 2007 on micro-electromechanical systems looked at the incorporation of magnetostriction in magMEMS. I subsequently worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Science and Engineering Materials, where I was made a University Teacher in 2011, lecturer in 2013, and Senior lecturer in 2015.

Research interests

The study of functional materials and their responses - design, characteristaion and optimisation. 

This includes: 

  • The development of a finite element modelling techniques to understand how materials respond from external stimuli.  
  • Multi-physics finite element simulations combining, electrical, thermal and structural analysis. 

Key projects: 

  • Development of magnetic materials for motor and drives (working with VW) 
  • Development of dielectric mateirals for capactiors (working with KAVX) 
  • Development of local impedance Spectroscopy techniques to characterise materials for fusion technologies. (working with UKAEA)

Julian is actively involved in public outreach and education, particularly with school age students. Working with Dr Dan Allwood and Dr Matthew Bryan, he assisted local Sixth Form students in conducting research on designing new magnetic hard drive materials. This work resulted in a research paper [] and an education paper on the project itself []. Julian was also co-awarded the 2009 Kroto Prize for Excellence in the Science Education of Young People.

He has run hands-on Materials outreach activities for school students from 5 – 18. These sessions include ‘High-performance composite chocolate’ (Ages 5-21) [] , ‘Magnets’ (Ages 7-11) and ‘Structural materials properties’ (Ages 14-18). Most recently worked with Dr Dan Allwood to develop a suite of Flash-based virtual experiments to support Physics A-level tuition: . These have been used to deliver lessons to A-level (16-18 years) students and are used as part of graduate programmes.
