EPSRC DTP studentship: The Beat Goes On: developing ultra-fast MRI techniques to measure pulsatile blood flow and arterial stiffness in the brain
The School of Physics and Astronomy at Cardiff University is delighted to offer fully funded EPSRC studentships starting in January 2025. Read more
Giant Rydberg Excitons for Quantum Technologies
Giant Rydberg excitons are recently discovered quantum objects that are generating considerable scientific excitement. They are different from conventional excitons, which are commonly observed near the band edge of semiconductor crystals because they have large sub-micron Bohr radii. Read more
Coherent quantum dynamics of cavity-mediated and Förster coupled remote quantum-dot qubits
This project in theoretical physics aims to study the coherent dynamics and resonant Förster transfer of optical excitations (excitons) in single and multiple semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). Read more
Quantum-limited holographic sensing of nanoparticles in plasma CVD of quantum devices
Solid state device fabrication underpinning semiconductor and quantum technology [1] relies heavily on etching and deposition techniques based on plasma chemical vapour deposition (CVD) [2,3]. Read more
Diamond Nanoparticles for Quantum Sensing in Healthcare
Diamond is a unique material with superlative properties such as unrivalled hardness and transparency over a wide wavelength range. Read more
Unlocking the Full Potential of EEG: A Data-Driven Approach to Functional Neuroimaging in the Absence of MRI
Quantitative methods for studying human brain function are foundational to modern neuroscience. Among these, electroencephalography (EEG) stands out as a non-invasive technique that measures the brain's electromagnetic activity, offering crucial insights for both research and clinical applications. Read more
Demystifying metal whiskering
In 2005, a nuclear reactor at Millstone Power Station in the US was unexpectedly shut down. Technicians were stumped as to what the culprit might be, until they spotted under a microscope a thin metal filament spanning the surface of a computer card and bridging a conductive material. Read more
Time refraction in integrated photonics
Time refraction is an ultrafast dynamic phenomenon where the refractive index of a material is changed as light is flying through it. Read more
Inverse design in photonics: Combining the resonant-state expansion with machine learning
Electromagnetic resonances are widely exploited in modern technologies, and significant advance in their simulation and underlying understanding has an extensive field of applications with a potential impact on society. Read more
Towards a clinical MEG system: theoretical and practical insights into the use of optically pumped magnetometers
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that allows characterisation of human brain electrophysiology by measuring magnetic fields generated by neural currents. Read more
Simulation-based Inference of gravitational waves signals from black holes and neutron stars
Black holes and neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe, well beyond what we can produce in a laboratory and at the very edge of our understanding of physics. Read more
Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines
Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters. Read more
Developing Large Arrays of Superconducting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Future Astronomy Instrumentation
The Cardiff Astronomy Instrumentation Group (AIG) is one of the world leaders in Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) development. Read more
Advanced numerical methods for solving the forward problem in E/MEG
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technique that measures the electric potential originating from the brain using electrodes located on the scalp. Read more
Active Colloidal-Quantum-Dot Light Emitting Devices: QD Laser and QD LEDs
Realization of electrically pumped lighting and lasing with colloidal quantum dots will have a revolutionary impact on many disciplines including display, photonics, optical communication, chemical sensing, and medical diagnostics. Read more
