At the Programmable Biomaterials Lab (PBL), our goal is to solve some of the major challenges facing large-scale and high-throughput bioproduction via innovative 3D light-assisted programming of matter. Read more
Future quantum computers will rely on robust quantum states that are protected from environmental noise. Majorana zero modes, emerging at the edges of topological superconductors, are leading candidates for building such noise-resistant quantum systems. Read more
After the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) atomically thin carbon crystal, graphene, a very large family of layered 2D “van der Waals materials” came to light, called after the van der Waals forces holding together their atomic planes. Read more
Start date. 2025 (flexible). Join a transformative research project to overcome the challenges of miniaturising quantum sensors by integrating atomic systems with photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Read more
This project focuses in the development of an electrospray ion thruster for micro spacecraft propulsion, and investigating it as an etching tool. Read more
Start Date. September/October 2025 (flexible). Join a pioneering research project focused on developing monolithically integrated single photon avalanche detectors (SPAD) coupled with silicon photonic waveguide platforms. Read more
Fundamental light-sensitive and light-driven processes occurring on the nanoscale govern performance of materials and devices used in many cutting-edge applications from quantum technologies to healthcare. Read more
The development of quantum technologies is a major field of research activity around the world. These new technologies have the potential to revolutionise computing and communication, and also to push the frontiers of metrology and sensing beyond the limits set by classical physics. Read more
Recent advances in semiconductor nano-technology have led to a new generation of robust controllable structures where manipulation of coupling between light and matter can be performed on a sub-micrometer scale. Read more
Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship starting Oct 2025 aiming to enhance the performance of electron sources by exploiting novel photoemission schemes using nano-structured photocathodes driven by strong-field terahertz (THz) pulses. Read more
Project Description. The detection of hydrogen gas is important in many industries (petrochemical, civil nuclear, transport etc) due to its highly flammable nature. Read more
Tokyo Electron Ltd (TEL) is the leading supplier of manufacturing equipment for the global semiconductor industry. TEL is a Japanese headquartered company, with >750 staff in Europe located in 12 countries, including the UK. Read more
Single-electron quantum devices have potential use as radiation sensors for fundamental and applied science applications. We propose to develop arrays of graphene-based single-electron transistors that operate from deep cryogenic temperatures towards room temperature. Read more
