Using a number of techniques, I characterise nano-engineered surfaces with the aim of furthering our understanding of these rapidly evolving materials and also to produce traceability of measurement in the systems. I've recently been working with the European Space Agency on the use of nanomaterials in the space industry.

Michael de Podesta
Physicist working at NPL, mainly on projects connected with measuring temperature and am currently building the world's most accurate thermometer. I am also a generalist rather than a specialist. I find almost everything fascinating and I enjoy understanding the links between different phenomena

I'm a Product and Process Development Chemist with a market-leading global manufacturer. I have wide ranging research experience in both industrial and academic environments. I have broad interests, though my topic of choice is Inorganic Chemistry, and feel this site can make a positive contribution towards enthusing potential scientists. As our economy progresses towards niche design and production, they should be increasingly in demand.

Richard Gilham is currently a scientist at the MET Office in Devon. Before that, he worked at the National Physical Laboratory. Prior to that he studied for a degree and PhD in chemistry at the University of Birmingham. When not thinking about science, he likes to go hill walking, camping and generally get as muddy as possible.

After studying biology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, I got my PhD from the same university with a thesis on lung emphysema caused by cigarette-smoke. I previously worked as a Research Associate at Imperial College London, where I tested new in-vitro models of human skin ("skin in a dish"), so they could be used as a replacement for animal testing of cosmetics (which has been banned by the EU). At the moment I am employed by Queen Mary University London as a laboratory manager.
