Professor Finlay Morrison

University of St Andrews, UK
Finlay Morrison is Professor of Solid-State and Materials Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. Finlay’s research interests lie in the solid-state chemistry of functional oxides with focus on investigation of new materials (particularly dielectrics, ferroelectrics and multiferroics) for electronic applications. His approach is to use in-depth structural studies, using x-ray and neutron powder diffraction techniques, in combination with extensive electrical characterisation to probe structure-property relationships. Finlay was educated at the University of Aberdeen followed by PDRA positions in Engineering Materials at the University of Sheffield and Earth Sciences in Cambridge. Finlay was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2004-2012) which he initially held at the University of Cambridge before joining the School of Chemistry at St Andrews in 2006.
