Blair Kennedy

Blair Kennedy is a Research Fellow at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews, United Kingdom, specializing in advanced materials research with emphasis on thermoelectric systems and carbon capture technologies. His experimental work integrates neutron diffraction and mechanical processing techniques for novel material development.

His core research spans Materials Science and Crystallography, focusing on sustainable synthesis of Thermoelectric Materials like half-Heusler compounds and CO2 Capture materials such as sodium zirconate. Key methodologies include ball milling, slow-heating rate synthesis, and neutron diffraction analysis to characterize crystal structures and material properties under operational conditions.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent innovation in energy materials, with 2025 work optimizing copper-doped TiNiSn thermoelectrics and 2024 research decoding CO2 adsorption mechanisms. His studies emphasize sustainable processing routes and atomic-level structural understanding through diffraction techniques.
