Mark Geoghegan

I am Professor of Soft Matter Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield. My research interests centre around the physics of polymers at surfaces and interfaces, heterogeneous media (gels), semi-conducting polymers, and soft nanotechnology.

Congratulations to Amy Hall who was awarded her M.Sc. with Distinction on January 14, 2011. Amy did our M.Sc. in Nanoscale Science and Technology and is now undertaking a Ph.D. in my research group.

Recent research highlights include the directed diffusion of single polymer molecules as well as work on the switchable adhesion of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.

Single polymer diffusion & switchable adhesion.

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 was, until recently, director.
