Biography

Michael Hayward is a Professor of Inorganic ÉîÒ¹¸£Àû¹ú²ú¾«Æ· at the University of Oxford. After completing a D.Phil. under the supervision of Prof. M. J. Rosseinsky at the University of Oxford, Prof. Hayward undertook a period of post-doctoral research with Prof. R. J. Cava at Princeton University, returning to Oxford in 2002 as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. In 2004 he was appointed as an Associate Professor in the Department of ÉîÒ¹¸£Àû¹ú²ú¾«Æ·, University of Oxford and Fellow of Somerville College. In 2015 he was promoted to Professor of Inorganic ÉîÒ¹¸£Àû¹ú²ú¾«Æ·. Research in the Hayward group focuses on the synthesis of novel solid compounds which exhibit interesting physical behaviour (magnetic, electronic, electrochemical, etc.). Materials are prepared principally via low-temperature, topochemical routes, which enable the synthesis of metastable phases and allow the introduction of a degree of ‘design’ in to the preparation of solid-state materials.
