معرفی
Andrew Goodwin is a Professor of Materials Chemistry and Associate Head of Department (Research) at the University of Oxford, leading a research group focused on structural flexibility and disorder in functional materials. His work bridges fundamental understanding with practical applications in energy storage and smart materials.
- Education: University of Sydney, University of Cambridge
Research in the Goodwin Group revolves around four themes: fundamentals of disorder, advanced characterization techniques, disorder-by-design synthesis, and disorder-property relationships. They specialize in total scattering, PDF, and 3D-ΔPDF methods using X-rays, neutrons, and electrons, with applications in thermoelectrics, magnetocalorics, and adaptive sensing.
Recent publications highlight his group's exploration of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Jahn-Teller distortions, and disorder-driven properties. Key trends include leveraging correlated disorder for functional materials, developing novel characterization algorithms, and synthesizing hybrid frameworks with unconventional magnetic/electronic states.
