About the Project

Have you ever wondered about self-cleaning surfaces: an object that cleanse itself just by shining light on it? Such technology already exists, and the field is fast developing. In our lab we are characterising the latest meta oxides thin film to understand how these magic surfaces actually works.

By using ultrafast transient spectroscopy, we uncover the early electronic mechanisms that are at the origin of the anti-microbial properties of these new materials.

Funding Notes

This is a self-funded project. The applicant should have or expect to gain at least an upper second class degree, or equivalent overseas qualification, in a relevant subject.

If you have the correct qualifications and access to your own funding, either from your home country or your own finances, your application to work with this supervisor will be considered.
