Profile

Robert Moorehead obtained his MPhys in Physics from the University of Salford in 2006, followed by a PhD on in-situ neutron diffraction of novel dental ceramics.

He has worked as a research technician on a wide variety of projects, focussing mainly on the manufacture, characterisation and translation of biomaterials.

In July 2019 he joined the Henry Royce Institute in 91ֱ�� as an advanced materials characterisation experimental officer, focussing on X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Since starting at Royce, he has worked with Dr Nik Reeves-McLaren on operando X-ray diffraction of battery materials, and with Dr Alice Pyne on the topology of DNA minicircles using AFM.

Research interests: Advanced manufacturing and smart materials are transforming healthcare in the 21st century, delivering better, cost-effective outcomes and personalising treatments. Rob’s research mainly focuses on developing materials for bone regeneration, evaluating advanced manufacturing methods for maxillofacial surgery and dental prosthetics, and developing the techniques used to characterise these, and other materials.
