Andrew Goodwin

Andrew Goodwin is Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on understanding and exploiting structural flexibility and disorder in functional materials, with an emphasis on advanced characterisation techniques and the synthesis of disordered framework materials. His group explores the relationships between disorder and functional properties, aiming to develop new materials for energy storage and other applications. Goodwin leads a research group based in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory and has received recognition for his work through various awards and grants. He is also involved in advisory roles for research agencies.

Andrew Goodwin is a Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Oxford, specializing in Materials Chemistry and Disordered Materials. His research focuses on the structural and functional properties of disordered materials, particularly metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), Prussian blue analogues, and amorphous materials. He investigates phenomena such as negative thermal expansion, colossal thermal expansion, and correlated disorder in crystalline and amorphous systems. His work explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of materials with unique thermal and mechanical properties, often using advanced computational and experimental techniques. Goodwin's research contributes to understanding the role of defects and disorder in materials design and functionality.
