My main interest is in the characterisation of condensed matter samples with a direct link into chemical engineering. In our work we are exploiting the sensitivity of terahertz radiation to the interaction of molecules and the resulting structure and dynamics the molecules form in solids and liquids. One of my particular areas of interest is in the solid state physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical materials. In addition to this field I am working towards a better understanding of catalysts, fundamental properties of glasses and the dynamics of biomolecules.
