About
James currently holds the position of Lecturer in Materials Engineering at the Open University. His primary research interest is developing novel methods of materials characterisation.
He has established collaborations with researchers across the chemical, physical, biological, and medical sciences. These often employ micro/nanometrology and micro/nanomechanical characterisation techniques.
James established the Science City Advanced Materials laboratory in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, a custom-built facility which housed equipment suitable for the characterisation of surfaces and materials.
He has worked extensively with a wide range of companies, particularly those in the automotive, fast-moving consumer goods, and technology sectors.
