I am co-ordinator of PolyFilm, a European Community funded Framework 6 research training network concerned with the properties of confined polymer films. An international conference on thin polymer films will be held in Sheffield in September this year, which will also celebrate the achievements of the network.

Recently published: Switchable adhesion of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.
I am a co-author and co-editor of Nanoscale Science and Technology, a textbook introducing nanoscience and nanotechnology to final year undergraduates and graduate students. This book provides core material for much of our graduate-level training through nanofolio, the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield Nanotechnology Education Portfolio, of which I am director.
