DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will highlight some discoveries my 
 research has made by the creation of novel materia
 ls using chemical synthesis accompanied by electro
 nic and structural modification\, and energy scale
  tuning methods. \nThese include the realisation o
 f a low-dimensional spin triplet Bose Einstein con
 densate\, the creation of an iron pnictide superco
 nductor with a record high superconducting tempera
 ture induced solely by applied strain\, and the so
 lution of the mysterious pseudogap electronic stru
 cture in the underdoped cuprate superconductors. I
  will discuss future goals of my research programm
 e 'Physics of Novel Materials'\, which will build 
 a network both within Cambridge and internationall
 y and thereby seek to create and study novel mater
 ials beyond those currently known and understood. 
 Focus areas will include optimisation by structura
 l tuning of high temperature cuprate superconducto
 rs\, realisation of correlated topological insulat
 ors in 5d-oxides with strong spin-orbit coupling a
 nd their electronic modification to yield novel su
 perconductors and spin liquids\, new topological s
 emiconductors\, and frustrated rare-earth magnets 
 and metal-organic frameworks. In particular\, my t
 alk will focus on the area of strong spin-orbit co
 upled 5d correlated oxides\, energy efficient appl
 ications of which are anticipated to include novel
  superconductors with relevance to power generatio
 n and transmission\, electric field induced metal-
 to-insulator switching\, and topological qubits fo
 r powerful computation.\n
