Welcome to our research pages
We
are a research group established at the
School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews. We part
of EaStCHEM, a joint research school established between the
Universities of St Andrews and Edinburgh. Ultra-microscopy
investigations of novel, functional materials form the core of our
scientific endeavours. In collaboration with partners across various
disciplines and institutions, we recently launched the Scottish
Centre for Interdisciplinary Surface Spectroscopy.
Our
expertise lies
in the nanoscale design of functional materials. Scanning probe techniques applied to a variety of
interdisciplinary subjects focussing on a better fundamental
understanding of the physics and chemistry at surfaces. Scanning probe
techniques, such as STM or AFM, enable us to obtain
insights into the nanoscopic realm, thanks to their
remarkable spatial resolution and to their ability to perform
spectroscopy at the single atom/molecule level. To learn more about our
