Levi is interested in the synthesis of nanostructured materials, and the characterisation of their composition and morphology and advanced electron microscopy and powder diffraction.
He is particularly interested in linking crystallographic and microstructural information to material properties, and on understanding the relationship between the properties of a material and its performance in real-world applications.
His material interests include insertion metal oxides, nanoporous and nanostructured metals, ferroelectric oxides, and light alloys and their microstructure. His technique interests include atom probe microscopy, scanning and electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), X-ray and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EDS, EELS) and X-ray and neutron powder diffraction (XRD, NPD). His application interests include electrochemistry, photovoltaics, plasmonic-assisted photocatalysis.
Levi leads projects in:
- Domain structures in relaxor ferroelectrics.
- Nanoporous metals for energy applications.
- Workflows for cryogenic atom probe tomography.
- Characterisation of next-generation atom probe microscopes.
- Properties of conductive oxide nanoparticles.
and is a collaborator on projects such as:
- Structural characterisation of electrochemical materials.
- Hydrogen-embrittlement of non-ferrous alloys.
- Structural characterisation of lead-halide perovskite thin-films.
- Deep cryogenic treatment of alloys and steels.
Levi has membership with:
- Sydney Nano Institute,
- Net Zero Initiative,
- Australian Microscopy and Microanalysis Society (AMMS),
- Australian Nanotechnology Network (ANN).
