Profile

Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford and Professorial Fellow at Mansfield College, Oxford, where, from 2008–2011, he was Head of Condensed Matter Physics. Based in the Clarendon Laboratory, his research uses muon-spin rotation and magnetoresistance techniques to study a range of organic and inorganic materials, particularly those showing interesting magnetic, superconducting, or dynamical properties. He has been developing a technique called DFT+μ for understanding muon sites, and is working on a project to upgrade Oxford's Pulsed Field system to generate higher magnetic fields.

Professor Blundell completed his PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Cambridge at the Cavendish Laboratory, and has published nearly 350 articles and numerous books in the field of Physics.
