Single-molecule spectroscopy and super-resolution imaging of organic semiconductor materials
Organic semiconductors based on light-emitting conjugated polymers are attracting considerable interest in semiconductor physics and are emerging as exceptional 'plastic-like' materials for optoelectronic applications including displays, lasers and solar cells. Read more

Theory of quantum detection with nonlinear transport and superconducting diode effect
In recent years there have been enormous advances in fabricating quantum devices from materials with unique and exotic properties. Read more

Feedback in massive young stellar clusters with the ALMA EGO-10 survey
Most stars form in clusters, where energetic feedback from massive (proto)stars – including outflows, ionization, heating, and winds – shapes the environment and impacts accretion. Read more

Harnessing EPR Spectroscopy to Explore Hidden Features of Materials
Magnetic resonance is the broad term for techniques that exploit the fundamental and fascinating property of spin. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is where the spin being used or probed is from a paramagnetic centre, i.e. Read more

Unlocking Rocky Exoplanet Atmospheres via Next-Generation Stellar Characterisation
One of the most significant research directions in modern astronomy is the search for atmospheres on rocky planets orbiting other stars. Read more

Hunting brown dwarfs and rogue plants with JWST
Star formation produces large numbers of brown dwarfs down to masses comparable to those of giant planets. In the same mass domain, we also expect to find free-floating giant planets, ejected from their natal systems, mixed in with the lowest mass objects that formed like stars. Read more

Optomechanical Metasurfaces for Biophotonics Applications.
The Synthetic Optics group (https://synthopt.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/) in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of St Andrews has a large portfolio of research projects aimed at designing and exploiting light matter interactions at the nanoscale. Read more

Why do galaxies stop forming stars?
Observations of the nearby Universe have revealed galaxies broadly fall into two categories, red ellipticals that have ceased star formation, and blue disks that are continuing to form stars (such as our own Milky Way). Read more
Developing new computational tools for the next generation of structural imaging with single molecule and super resolution microscopy
Background. Super Resolution Microscopy (SRM) is a broad class of microscopy techniques collectively aimed at breaking the fundamental limit imposed on fluorescence imaging due to the diffractive nature of light. Read more
Probing electronic structure and many-body interactions in thin-film correlated oxides
As part of a generously-funded Leverhulme research project, we seek an ambitious and motivated PhD student to join a research initiative aimed at investigating how the electronic structure and collective states of thin-film correlated oxides evolve with direct control over their material composition.
