Kerry McMahon

Kerry McMahon serves as a Research Fellow at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews, specializing in advanced materials research with emphasis on antiferroelectric phenomena in complex oxide systems.

Her academic credentials include a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) awarded in December 2024 from the University of St Andrews. Her doctoral research, supervised by Professor F. D. Morrison, investigated structural and electrical properties of filled tetragonal tungsten bronzes.

Dr. McMahon's research portfolio centers on:

• Antiferroelectric behavior in ceramic materials
• Crystal structure-property relationships
• Tetragonal tungsten bronze compounds
• Dielectric response characterization
• Functional oxide materials design
• Phase transition mechanisms

Her scholarly contributions include the doctoral thesis "Antiferroelectric behaviour in filled tetragonal tungsten bronzes" and its associated research dataset deposited in the University of St Andrews Research Portal (DOI: 10.17630/afee5fdd-a30a-422c-b3b5-68e4db4b793c), documenting experimental findings on antiferroelectric transitions.

No scientific awards or honors are documented in available sources.

Current information indicates no formal student supervision or grant administration responsibilities. Her research appears focused on continuing postdoctoral investigations building upon doctoral work within the School of Chemistry's materials research ecosystem.
