Nanoscale Imaging of Conductivity in Hybrid Metal Halide Perovskite Thin Films
In recent years, hybrid metal halide perovskites, which adopt the crystal structure as seen in the structure below, have shown extraordinary success as active layers in solar cells. Read more
Healing of cracks in organic–inorganic halide perovskite thin films
Organic–inorganic halide perovskite (OIHP) thin films at the heart of the burgeoning thin-film perovskite solar cells (PSCs) technology possess poor mechanical properties, which is likely to limit the long-term reliability of PSCs as they are poised for commercialization. Read more
Electric Field Control of Liquid Surfaces for Microfluidics
The control of liquid droplets wetting state on solid surfaces through the application of non-uniform electric fields is known as Dielectrowetting. Read more
The physics of polymer glasses in confined geometries and in the bulk
The formation and behaviour of glassy disordered non-equilibrium solids is one of the deepest unsolved questions in physics, as demonstrated by the seminal contributions to the problem by the 2021 Nobel laureate in physics, Giorgio Parisi. Read more

Nanophotonics with novel 2D materials
Numerous optical phenomena and applications have been enabled by nanophotonic structures. Oneof them, beating the diffraction limit by confining light on sub-wavelength scales, has been mainly achieved with metallic nanostructures, which unavoidably suffer from large ohmic losses. Read more
Ferroelectric field effect transistors for next generation non-volatile memories and cognitive computing
Perovskite oxides are a family of materials that display an incredible diversity of physical phenomena including high-temperature superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, magnetism, ferroelectricity, etc. Read more
Nanomaterials as White Light Emitters for Low Cost Lighting
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
White-light emission (WLE) from semiconductor nanostructures is presently a research area of intense interest especially where the primary objective is to replace conventional light sources by environmentally friendly materials in order to minimize energy costs and therefore the global energy consumption for lighting.

Continuous Manufacture of Materials for Energy Storage
Manufacturing high performance batteries is a key requirement to address the pressing challenges of climate change. Battery technology is critical in enabling electric vehicles and storing renewable energy. Read more
The fluid mechanics of glacial ice sheets (mathematical modelling, theory, and computation)
This project involves the mathematical modelling and analysis of the dynamics of ice sheets, such as those of Greenland and Antarctica. Read more
Development of a novel biocomposite-integrated thin film reactor for the intensification of biosolar energy-driven gas clean-up processing
This proposed project seeks to establish an entirely new, scalable, solar energy driven microbial gas absorber technology by a novel combination of advanced photoreactive biocomposite materials, experimental thin film absorber design and modelling approaches. Read more
Discovery of new optoelectronic materials for coatings on glass towards net zero technologies.
An opportunity for a 3.5 year PhD position supported by NSG Group towards the discovery of new materials as coatings on glass. This project aims to develop new materials for optoelectronic applications on glass to contribute to the net zero agenda. Read more
