Daniel R. Talham
Professor
Research Focus
The Talham Group studies solid state and materials chemistry. We build on our competencies in nanomaterials, magnetism, surfaces and interfaces to discover new materials in areas ranging from information processing and energy storage to bioanalysis and sustainability.
