Summary
Dr. Fern carries out research in the Wolfson Centre for Materials Processing, as well as holding an academic post in the College of Engineering Design and Physical Sciences.
He has a track record dating to 1998 working on luminescent and inorganic materials which has spanned a diverse range of applied and fundamental research, often in collaboration with industry. This research and teaching has allowed him to develop a wide interest in synthetic and analytical chemistry of opto-electronic materials and their engineering, incorportation and operation in working devices.
He is a Chartered Chemist and Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society.
