Replacing Si with 2D materials by developing the technique to dope them
Research Group:
Sustainable Electronic Technologies
Our vision is to encourage the semiconductor industry to adopt 2D materials into their manufacturing pipelines and integrate them into 2 nm node transistor technologies for data communications, computing and sensing. Read more
Renewable Integration in Power Systems: Challenges in Modelling, Estimation and Control
Research Group:
Electrical Power Engineering
As a research project within the Doctoral Centre for Advanced Electrical Power Engineering this thesis will investigate the impact of stochastic and intermittent dynamics of renewable sources of wind/solar energy on power system performance, and how these dynamics can be better modelled, monitored and controlled to ensure power system stability.
