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 葫芦影业 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.
