Dr David Morgan
Surface Analysis Manager
morgandj3@cardiff.ac.uk
Room 0.74C, Main Building, Park Place, Cardiff, CF10 3AT
Available for postgraduate supervision
Dr Morgan's interests are in the application of surface sensitive techniques to study the fundamental surface processes which underpin phenomena such as catalysis, corrosion and adhesion.
His research areas are broad, encompassing aspects such as the elemental composition, chemistry and topography of a surface. Using a combination of surface sensitive analytical techniques such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), his research has a wide applicability as evidenced by our collaborations with other schools, including Pharmacy, Physics, Engineering, Biosciences, Archaeology and Earth sciences.
Currently Dr Morgan also serves as the Technical Manager of HarwellXPS, the EPSRC National Facility for X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

Both my PhD and post-doctoral work focused on the characterisation and reactivity of model and nanoparticulate precious metal catalysis and their utilisation in industrial relevant processes, including the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide, the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde using iron molybdate catalysts and acetylene hydrochlorination.
Main research interests are in surface and nanoparticle characterisation, especially by X-ray based in-situ and operando measurements.
I am intrested in supervising PhD students with interests in the following areas:
Spectroscopy, in particlular electron spectrocopy
Catalysis, in particular the surface chemistry of activated carbons
Josh Davies
Debbie Thacker
Identification of single-site gold catalysis in acetylene hydrochlorination
Cardiff research on graphene 'revolutionary' for industry
