I am a Professor of Physics in Oxford University, working in the Department of Physics, and based in the Clarendon Laboratory. I am also a Professorial Fellow of Mansfield College, Oxford. I was Head of Condensed Matter Physics from 2008-2011.  I came to Oxford in 1993, first as an EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellow.  Following a Junior Research Fellowship at Merton College, I was appointed as a University Lecturer in 1997.

My research is concerned with using muon-spin rotation and other techniques to learn about emergent phenomena in a variety of highly correlated magnetic and superconducting systems. Recently I have been developing a technique called DFT+μ for understanding muon sites and also using Oxford's Pulsed Field system to generate higher magnetic fields. I received the Yamazaki Prize in 2022 and the Lawrence Bragg Medal, a Gold Medal of the Institute of Physics, in 2024.

I am married to the other Professor Blundell.
