Materials and Devices

This is of benefit both in the lab and, more importantly, outside academic circles to the general public. We are actively working on a range of material and device concepts that span improvements in current technology such as telecommunications, displays, lasers, and solar cells, to future technology such as quantum optic devices and microfluidic circuits.

Harish Bhaskaran

Professor of Applied Nanomaterials

I run the Advanced Nanoscale Engineering Lab.

Martin Booth

Professor of Electrical Engineering

My research interests lie in the theory and practice of dynamic optics, particularly the use of adaptive optical elements in high resolution microscopy and ultrafast laser fabrication.

Gavin Dalton

Professor of Astrophysics

I am working on wide‐field imaging and fibre‐fed spectroscopy instrumentation in visible and near‐infrared astronomy, both in instrument construction and science exploitation.

Steve Elston

Professor of Engineering Science

My present research interests are mainly in the field of novel liquid crystal materials and applications, within which I undertake both theoretical and experimental work.

Laura Herz

Professor of Physics

My research is focused on investigating nanostructured molecular and inorganic semiconducting materials

Felix Hofmann

Professor of Engineering Science

I’m interested in the effect of defects on material properties, ranging from single atom defects, such as vacancies and interstitials, to extended defects, such as dislocations, to macroscopic defects, for example cracks and voids.
