Mr Levi Tegg

After completing my Bachelor of Science (Honours) in physics at the University of Newcastle, I started my PhD in 2016. For my thesis I'm investigating the synthesis of conductive metal oxides for applications in plasmonics. My research is multidisciplinary, and includes contributions from researchers in materials engineering, crystallography, computational chemistry and optics. My research interests and expertise include electron microscopy and X-ray analysis, high-temperature synthesis techniques, and the calculation of electrical and optical properties both at the bulk scale and the nano scale.

Aside from research, teaching at the tertiary level has been a significant part of my career. I have experience in teaching physics at the first, second and third year levels. This includes laboratories, tutorials, some research project supervision and some course development. I have also been involved in outreach programs aimed at inspiring or teaching high school students physics and materials science.
