My research interests are wide-ranging in the area of materials for advanced products and applications. I study metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, concentrating on the relationship between the structure of materials and their mechanical properties, such as strength, toughness and durability. My research requires the use of advanced electron microscopes and is carried out through my close affiliation to the Center for Electron Nanoscopy, CEN-DTU. Current research topics include the following: Transmission electron microscopy: Carbon nanotubes; Ge-clusters in silica glass; nano-porous block co-polymers. Scanning electron microscopy: 3D-SEM; micro-robots in SEM; stiction.
