Overview
Background
Julian A. Steele received his Ph.D. in physics from The Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM), University of Wollongong, before undertaking postdoctoral work at KU Leuven (Belgium) and UC Berkeley (USA). From 2023, he began a DECRA Fellowship at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), The University of Queensland, working on a range of condensed matter topics, within which phase transition phenomena in metal halide perovskite semiconductors feature heavily.
