He received his B.Eng. (2009) and Ph.D. (2013) in Materials at the University of New South Wales. From 2013-15, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, before completing a postdoctoral fellowship sponsored by the Danish Council for Independent Research at the Technical University of Denmark from 2015-17. His research intersects materials science and microscopy through the development of novel x-ray and neutron-based methodologies for the quantitative, multi-scale 3D imaging of materials. In particular, he focuses on defects and interfaces in multifunctional oxides including piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics and multiferroics.
