Dr. Fern carries out research in the Wolfson Centre for Materials Processing, as well as holding an academic post in the College of Engineering Design and Physical Sciences.

He has a track record dating to 1998 working on luminescent and inorganic materials which has spanned a diverse range of applied and fundamental research, often in collaboration with industry. This research and teaching has allowed him to develop a wide interest in synthetic and analytical chemistry of opto-electronic materials and their engineering, incorportation and operation in working devices.

He is a Chartered Chemist and Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society.

Research areas:

Displays, Electronics and Lighting; Polymer Processing and Biopolymers; Nanomaterials, Nanoparticles and Nanocatalysts, ionising radiaiton Sensors, transmisison electron microscopy, applications in horticulture, security and novel display technology.
