Mick Phillips - NanO Postdoc
Mick obtained his PhD from the University of Nottingham for work on fundamental surface science, combining theoretical work and a number of experimental techniques exploiting synchrotron radiation, followed by a post-doctoral position at Trinity College Dublin, where he worked on novel applications of atomic force microscopy in materials- and life-sciences. He later joined the UK's National Physical Laboratory to work on emerging techniques and standards for the analysis of surfaces and nanoparticles, before joining Asylum Research, a leading instrument manufacturer in this field.
Mick joined Nano in 2013. He will bring together developments from a number of institutes across the University of Oxford to provide a super-resolution imaging user facility at Diamond, and establish methods to correlate information from this system with that from synchrotron-based X-ray microscopy.
