Steven R. Parnell develops and applies neutron scattering methods, particularly spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS), to study the nanoscale structure of materials ranging from steels and polymers to emulsions, coatings, and food systems. A related line of work involves building neutron instrumentation, including spin-echo interferometers and detectors, and exploring fundamental neutron properties such as orbital angular momentum. The research sits at the intersection of experimental physics, instrument development, and materials characterization.
