Graeme Greaves

Graeme is a Senior Research Fellow in the Ion Beam Centre (IBC) within the School of Computing and Engineering at the University of Huddersfield. He received his PhD in physics from the University of Salford in 2012, investigating the effect of ion irradiation on silicon and iron relating to the early history of the solar system.

Graeme is responsible for the running of the MIAMI facility at the University of Huddersfield. Which consists of two unique systems (MIAMI-1 & MIAMI-2), that combine ion accelerators with transmission electron microscopy, enabling real time observation of radiation damage at the nanoscale. These systems can irradiate with most ions from 1 keV up to 350 keV (with higher energies possible using other charge states). Currently his research interests are centred around using these facilities to investigate materials in extreme environments. In particular nuclear materials (for both fission and fusion) and semiconductors.
