My profile

Biography

I obtained my BSc(Hons) Chemistry and PhD, in the area of microwave spectroscopy, from the University of Bristol in the 1980s.  I then moved to postdoctoral position at the University of Exeter, studying the nature of the hydrogen bond and then returned to the Bristol and changed the focus of my research to chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of carbon films.  A fixed term lectureship in physical/theoretical chemistry followed at the University of Bristol.  I moved to Manchester Met in 1995, continuing with CVD research and more recently focussing on management and leadership roles in teaching and learning.

Teaching

Why do I teach?

I derive enormous satisfaction in seeing individual students develop and gain confidence during their time at MMU.  Advising and guiding students to fulfil their potential and go on to fantastic jobs or great research careers is a pleasure! 

How I’ll teach you

Physical Chemistry at all levels, specialising in molecular spectroscopy.

My courses focus on applying fundamental physical chemistry knowledge to problem solving.  Lectures are interactive and I welcome students to challenge me and perceived wisdom!

Research outputs

Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) of carbon-based materials. My research in the fields of rotational spectroscopy and CVD has resulted in over 80 papers in refereed journals and is internationally recognised. CVD processes are of major industrial interest with one of the attractions being the ability to form hard carbon films. The research focuses on functional applications for polycrystalline and nanocrystalline thin diamond films, such as, the control of surface morphology and grain size for optical applications, development of diamond based electrodes for electrochemical applications and biomedical diamond coatings, e.g. diamond coated dental burs. CVD techniques are also used to synthesise functionalised fullerenes. Our novel method has enabled significant quantities of hydrogenated and methylated fullerenes to be synthesised for the first time by gas phase reactions. More recent work involves the growth of graphene films onto copper substrates by CVD.
