Matthew’s research is centred about the development and application of electron microscopy technique, and the application of that technique for the solution of materials problems. Current techniques being researched include electron tomography (ET), quantitative STEM (qSTEM), quantitative energy dispersive X-ray (qEDX) spectroscopy and singular electron optics. Dr Weyland has published in nearly all areas of materials science, from polymers to metals, magnetic materials to catalysts and from electronic materials to corrosion. In recent years his publications have mainly been in the fields of the atomic structure of light alloys (Al, Mg etc), semiconductor heterostructures and functional nanoparticles.
