Head of Department
Professor of Experimental Physics
David Dunstan studies the high-pressure properties of matter and has developed diamond anvil cells for this purpose that are now manufactured commercially. He also works on coherency strain, to create new materials that have high strength over wider temperature ranges, and on the x-ray techniques needed to characterise these materials. His core experimental technique is optical spectroscopy. This requires the collection and control of light, and collaboration with commercial companies in this area has led to him designing the lighting of the Hope diamond in the Smithsonian Museum.
