Probert, Mike - Newcastle University

个人简介

Mike was appointed as a lecturer in Chemistry at Newcastle in September 2013, and has since moved his bespoke facility to Newcastle University. In January 2016 Mike was appointed to the role of Degree Programme Director (DPD) for Undergraduate Chemistry BSc and MChem courses.

研究领域

Mike's research interests include: studying the structure/property correlations of molecular systems under extreme conditions, ranging from simple organic compounds that exist as liquids under ambient conditions, to complex multi-dimensional systems that undergo novel phase changes upon cooling and/or the application of pressure; the polymorphic nature of compounds in the solid state; and the accurate experimental determination of electron densities of crystalline materials. These areas are all aided by the development of highly specialized equipment and novel experimental design that form another aspect to his research portfolio.
