Alex Wood

Dr Alex Wood is a faculty member in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge, situated within the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences. His current academic rank is Lecturer and he holds an active role in the department’s teaching and research community.

Research interests inferred from his recent publications centre on experimental condensed-matter physics and organic electronic materials, with emphasis on charge-transport phenomena in conjugated polymers, perovskite semiconductors, carbon-nanotube networks and thermoelectric energy conversion. Methodologically, his work employs conductive atomic-force microscopy, Hall-effect measurements and electrochemical gating to unravel nanoscale transport mechanisms.

Across 2020-2025 he has co-authored twelve peer-reviewed articles that collectively map the evolution of organic semiconductor doping strategies, the role of structural and dynamic disorder on carrier mobility, and design rules for enhancing thermoelectric figures of merit in polymer-based composites. These studies provide quantitative insights into how tie-chain engineering, counter-ion selection and processing conditions modulate electrical and thermal conductivity.
