Julian Dean obtained his Masters in Physics (MPhys) from the University of Sheffield in 2004. His PhD award in 2007 on micro-electromechanical systems looked at incorporation of magnetostriction in magMEMS.
Julian subsequently worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Science and Engineering materials on :-
- The simulation of impedance spectroscopy: The analysis of electroceramic materials.
- Artificial multiferroic materials
- Magnetic micro electromechanical systems (MagMEMS): devices for bio-chemical and security
- Magnetic phenomena on the nanoscale
- The study of magnetoelasticity at surfaces and interfaces
He has been involved in many outreach projects since joining the department and has been awarded grants for outreach projects. This led to him winning the Kroto Family Science Education prize award in 2009 and an exceptional contribution award for his work in the department.
In 2012 he was appointed to the role of University Teacher and maintaining his research interests.
Research interests
His research centres on the simulation, characterisation and exploitation of magnetic and ceramic materials.
