My postdoctoral  research involved the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to samples of limited volume (generally less than 500 nanolitres). Of particular interest was the continued development of techniques employing inductively coupled µ-coils. 

My doctoral studies centred on the application of solid-state NMR techniques for the structural characterization of inorganic materials of varying degrees of disorder. Two particular areas of focus were: i) the investigation of head-tail cyanide disorder and structural effects on NMR parameters of transition-metal cyanide coordination polymers and ii) investigating intermediate-range ordering in alkali-borate and alkali-borosilicate glasses.
