NEWS: I am one of the five 2006 Winners of the "Marie Curie Excellence Awards". More
details are available here (pdf). There is also information
on the Marie Curie website,
and here, and the speech
given by the president of the jury, Jozef Ritzen, is on the web.

I'm a scientist working in the emerging field
of nanotechnology,
currently studying the interaction between nanostructures
and
other atomic and molecular species. I used to work for the Vega
Science Trust, a charity that helps the science and technology
communities to communicate using television and the Internet
(developing science broadcasting on the Web, TV programme research
and development, etc).
More specifically I'm a full-time CNRS researcher at the Institute of Materials in Nantes, France, working
on computer modelling of point and line defects - intrinsic defects in carbon
and boron nitride nanotubes, defects in graphite and fullerenes,
gas absorption and chemical bonding to nanostructures, nanotube functionalisation, novel
nanostructures, and
the interaction between impurities such as hydrogen and dislocations
in diamond and silicon. I also use EELS microscopy
of nanomaterials and spent a year building nanotube based epoxy
resin and ceramic composites. My previous PhD work was on electronic
and structural behaviour of point defect impurities in semiconductors
such as Si and InP.
