Rate My Professor Phil Dobson

Dr Dobson has authored or co-authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings and book chapters. Notable examples include a 2026 paper on a surface enhanced Raman scattering nanotag library based on cucurbit[7]uril controlled nanoparticle aggregates for fast cell imaging, published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, and a 2026 article on characterization of heat transfer in 3D CMOS structures using Sideband Scanning Thermal Wave Microscopy, appearing in IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement. He also contributed a book section in 2009 on AFM and development of bio-fouling-resistant membranes, included in the volume Atomic Force Microscopy in Process Engineering published by Butterworth-Heinemann. Dr Dobson supervises postgraduate research students working on topics such as nano-scale measurement and manipulation of heat for healthcare and advanced nanoscale thermal and biomechanical technologies for cancer research.
