Dr Solveig Felton

Biography

Solveig Felton is a lecturer in Electron Microscopy at the Department of Materials and London Centre for Nanotechnology since January 2011. She obtained an M.Sc. in Materials Engineering from Uppsala University, Sweden in 2001, and a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from the same university in 2005 with a thesis entitled Tunable Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Compounds. After a post doc in the EPR and Diamond group of the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick she moved to Imperial in August 2009 joining the department as a post doc working on Molecular Spintronics in Sandrine Heutz's group. Her current research interests focus on the micromagnetic properties of materials as studied by TEM.
