Profile

Dan obtained a BSc (1994) and PhD (1998) in Applied Physics from the University of Hull, where he studied pulsed laser interactions with organic molecules in MALDI mass spectrometry. His post-doctoral research posts were at University of Oxford (laser monitoring of MOVPE III-V semiconductor growth), Imperial College London (creating laser-produced plasmas from Xe gas jets) and Durham University (nanomagnetism and laser-based magneto-optics). 

He moved to the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University of 91Ö±²¥ for the start of his EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship in Jan 2005. He has since mainly continued to work on nanoscale magnetism but has also studied bulk magnetic materials, magneto-optics, and 2D materials (transition metal dichalcogenides).

He is now a visiting professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering.
