Robert House is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials, Fellow of ZERO Institute at Oxford and Non-Tutorial Fellow of Keble College.
He holds a Research Fellowship with the Royal Academy of Engineering and affiliations with the Faraday Institution and Henry Royce Institute for advanced materials.
Professor House’s research interests are in novel sustainable energy materials, particularly for electrochemical energy storage, and in developing and applying advanced X-ray, neutron and muon scattering techniques to study ion diffusion, charge storage mechanisms and structure-function relationships in energy storage materials.
His research group are actively engaged in materials discovery and development for next generation batteries, and work closely with a range of industry partners. Their activities cover future lithium-ion technology, and more sustainable alternative chemistries such as sodium-ion and magnesium-ion.
