Career Summary
Biography
Research Expertise
My research expertise is in experimental surface science concerned with the interaction of molecules with metal surfaces. In particular, investigating novel chiral catalysis and environmental impact of particulates in the upper atmosphere.
Teaching Expertise
Teaching includes lectures in Statistical and Thermal Physics, Optics and Laser Physics and Atomic Physics. I am particularly interested in first year teaching practice and have participated in several workshops and 1st year teaching conferences.

Density functional theory together with ab initio atomistic thermodynamics has been utilized to study the structures and stabilities of the low index CuCl surfaces. It is shown that the Cl-terminated structures are more stable than the Cu-terminated configurations, and that the defective CuCl(110)-Cu structure is more stable than the stoichiometric CuCl(110) surface. The equilibrium shape of a cuprous chloride nanostructure terminated by low-index CuCl surfaces has also been predicted using a Wulff construction. It was found that the (110) facets dominate at low chlorine concentration. As the chlorine concentration is increased, however, the contributions of the (100) and (111) facets to the Wulff construction also increase gi ving the crystal a semi-prism shape. At high chlorine concentration, and close to the rich limit, the (111) facets were found to be the only contributors to the Wulff construction, resulting in prismatic nanocrystals.
