Jasper Adamson is a final year DPhil student in Dr Andrew Goodwin’s research group at the University of Oxford. Jasper has spent his DPhil working on functional materials, where the materials' properties are directly linked with and influenced by the dimensionality of their structures. Such materials include one-dimensional ice confined to an organic crystal, two-dimensional layered structures that exhibit unusual thermal expansion and compressibility behaviour, and three-dimensional framework materials.
