  Alastair took his Ph.D. with Prof. Mike Pepper and Prof. Gilbert Lonzarich at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge in Low Temperature Physics. He was then a post-doctoral fellow for three years with Prof. R.H. Williams in Cardiff and for two years with Dr Franz Himpsel at IBM Yorktown Heights in New York where he used synchrotron radiation to study the electronic states on surfaces and at semiconductor interfaces. His research group at Queen's University use scanning probe microscopy to study the properties of surfaces and functional materials. He is particularly interested in designing scanning probes that combine different imaging modalities.\n\nFellow of the Institute of Physics (UK) CSci CPhys FInstP\nMember of Churchill College Cambridge\nMember of the Canadian Association of Physicists\nFull Professor
