It is the electrons in materials which govern many interesting and useful properties, from how metals conduct electricity and heat to more exotic phenomena such as magnetism and superconductivity. I study the behaviour of electrons in materials by annihilating them with positrons (which are the anti-matter partners of electrons) and measuring the radiation that is produced. It is then possible to compare reality with the predictions of quantum mechanics.
Some of my research interests are shared by Ashraf Alam.
