معرفی
Prof Ian Wood is a Professor of Crystallography at the Department of Earth Sciences, University College London. His research focuses on crystallographic analysis using advanced techniques such as X-ray and neutron powder diffraction under extreme conditions. He specializes in high-pressure/temperature experiments on core-mantle-forming phases and planetary ices, particularly investigating the structural properties of water ice polymorphs in outer solar system environments.
- Research Expertise: Planetary materials, mineral physics, diffraction methodologies
- Teaching: GEOL0026 Earth and Planetary Materials; GEOL0072 Independent MSci Project
His work explores the structural behavior of planetary ices under varying pressure-temperature conditions, with a case study examining anomalous properties of water ice polymorphs. Active in the Crystallography and Mineral Physics research group, he utilizes cutting-edge diffraction facilities for experimental mineral physics.
