ABM CDT Comparison of pluripotent and multipotent stem cells in articular cartilage bioprinting
Articular cartilage (AC) defects are one of the major causes of immobility and poor quality of life for millions of individuals worldwide, but current medical therapies fail to provide long-term restoration of pain-free function. Read more
PhD in Engineering - Ultrafast Semiconductors for Quantum Nano-electronics
Several prominent quantum technologies rely on high quality semiconductors to create, manipulate and detect quantum information, also known as ‘qubits’. Read more
Strong light-matter interaction in van der Waals 2D materials: discovery of novel quantum states of the matter
The isolation of single-atomic layer graphene has led to a surge of interest in a large family of layered crystals with strong in-plane bonds and weak van der Waals interlayer coupling. Read more
Modelling carbon using machine learning
Carbon is a complex material that exists in many forms including graphene, graphite, and diamond. Graphite and other forms of carbon have widespread applications ranging from batteries, composite materials and even within nuclear reactor cores. Read more
