Michael Hope is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick, focusing on solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to understand the atomic-scale structure of functional materials. His research aims to characterize materials for energy storage and generation, particularly in the context of batteries and solar cells to address climate change. He has worked as an EPSRC Fellow and has held positions as a Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow and a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL, Switzerland. Michael's academic background includes a PhD from the University of Cambridge, where he specialized in Natural Sciences (Chemistry). He employs solid-state NMR techniques to study complex materials, exploring their dynamics and local structures, which is crucial for understanding their functionalities in modern devices. Furthermore, his research extends to the investigation of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites and MXenes, focusing on their properties and applications in photovoltaics and energy storage systems, respectively.
