Dr Benjamin Huddart

Retained Lecturer in Physics

I am a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in muon spectroscopy in condensed matter physics and a Retained Lecturer in Physics at Pembroke College. I obtained my PhD at Durham University in 2020, where I also spent three years working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate before arriving in Oxford. My research concerns the use of the muon-spin spectroscopy technique to study the magnetic properties of materials. This technique relies on subatomic particles, called muons, that are implanted in a sample. Much of my work involves determining the location of the stopped muon in the system under study, a problem that can be addressed using a computational modelling technique called density functional theory.

 At Pembroke College, I teach the third-year B6 Condensed Matter Physics and B3 Atomic and Laser Physics courses.
