Claire Vallance

Professor of Physical Chemistry

We employ novel time-of-flight imaging methods to study photon-induced and electron-induced molecular fragmentation processes and to carry out chemically-resolved imaging of surfaces. We are also developing chemical sensing methods based on cavity-enhanced spectroscopy for detection of trace chemical species in microscopic liquid samples.

Doug Higgs

Emeritus Professor, Consultant Physician

We use state-of-the-art laboratory and computational approaches to understand how mammalian genes are switched on and off during development and differentiation and how this goes awry in human genetic diseases.

Felix Hofmann

Professor of Engineering Science

I’m interested in the effect of defects on material properties, ranging from single atom defects, such as vacancies and interstitials, to extended defects, such as dislocations, to macroscopic defects, for example cracks and voids.
