Solid-State Materials & Characterisation Consulting

​

I offer independent consulting for companies and research groups needing expert input on materials characterisation, thermal analysis, and structural chemistry — particularly for phase-change materials and thermal energy storage applications.

Services include:

• Powder and neutron X-ray diffraction data interpretation and structural analysis

• DSC/TGA thermal analysis and phase-change material characterisation

• High-pressure structural studies (diamond anvil cell)

• Materials selection and feasibility assessment for R&D and energy-storage projects

• Technical report writing, literature reviews, and grant-application input

• Guidance on synchrotron/neutron beamtime proposal writing (Diamond, ESRF, DESY, MAX IV, ISIS)

Background: 10+ years of applied and fundamental materials research, including delivering funded projects for government (EPSRC, GCRF) and industry-facing R&D work.
