Overview
Dr Alex Morgan is a Research Associate in the Centre for High Frequency Engineering. His research is focused on material characterisation using microwave sensors and microwave heating. His particular focus is on the decarbonisation of fossil fuels using microwave initiaited catalysis.
Dr Morgan has a multidisciplanary background having gained his degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and his PhD in Microfluidics working on a broad range of topics including stem cell encapsulation, synthetic biology and 3D printing. After his PhD he worked as a Product Development Scientist for a small startup company and helped develop a medical diagnostic device from breadboard prototype through to fully realised product.
