About
A brief description of who you are and what you do.
This section will only display on your public profile if you’ve added content.
You can update this in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading and then ‘Curriculum and research description’, select ‘Add profile information’. In the dropdown menu, select - ‘About’.
Write about yourself in the third person. Aim for 100 to 150 words covering the main points about who you are and what you currently do. Clear, simple language is best. You can include specialist or technical terms.
You’ll be able to add details about your research, publications, career and academic history to other sections of your staff profile.
Research
Research interests
- Functional materials: photocatalysts, p-type conducivity
- Mixed anion materials
- Thin films and chemical vapour deposition
Current research
The Hyett research group's main focus is functional inorganic materials, with an emphasis on the potential of mixed anion materials, such as oxynitrides and oxysulfides. The mixed anion approach allows the differing charge, size and bonding requirements to influence structure and electronic properties giving novel materials and permitting tuning of properties. A key focus is the discovery of new materials, but the group also investigates the application of materials as thin films and coatings, making use of a range of techniques, including dip-coating and aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD).

Research groups
Any research groups you belong to will automatically appear on your profile. Speak to your line manager if these are incorrect. Please do not raise a ticket in Ask HR.
Research interests
Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page. Keep these brief and focus on the keywords people may use when searching for your work. Use a different line for each one.
In Pure (opens in a new tab), select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading 'Curriculum and research description', select 'Add profile information'. In the dropdown menu, select 'Research interests: use separate lines'.
Current research
Update this in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’ and then ‘Curriculum and research description - Current research’.
Describe your current research in 100 to 200 words. Write in the third person. Include broad key terms to help people discover your work, for example, “sustainability” or “fashion textiles”.
Research projects
Research Council funded projects will automatically appear here. The active project name is taken from the finance system.
Publications
Public outputs that list you as an author will appear here, once they’re validated by the ePrints Team. If you’re missing any outputs that you’ve added to Pure, they may be waiting for validation.
Supervision
Current PhD Students
Contact your Faculty Operating Service team to update PhD students you supervise and any you’ve previously supervised. Making this information available will help potential PhD applicants to find you.
Teaching
Geoff currently teaches modules covering the theory and applications of solid state materials chemistry, including analysis by X-ray diffraction, to part 2 students and also sustainable chemistry with a focus on climate change and alternative energy to part 3 and 4 students.
You can update your teaching description in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading and then ‘Curriculum and research description’ , select ‘Add profile information’.

Biography
Geoff Hyett studied chemistry at the University of Oxford as both an undergraduate and postgraduate. He was awarded an MChem in 2002, before completing a doctorate under the supervision of Professor Simon Clarke in 2005, on the topotactic modification of layered oxysulfide and selenide materials to control their magnetic properties. In the next stage of his research career Geoff developed an interest in chemical vapour deposition as a route to functional photocatalytic materials as thin films, working with Professor Ivan Parkin at University College London. While in London Geoff was appointed to his first teaching position, as a sessional lecturer at Birkbeck College on their life sciences university access course. In 2009 he was awarded an independent Ramsay Research Fellowship and took up his first full time academic lectureship at the University of Leeds in 2010. In 2013 he was appointed Lecturer of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Southampton and was promoted to associate professor in 2020.
