Research

Key research themes:

Halide perovskites and other novel materials for energy devices, such as solar cells and light-emitting devices.
Design, fabrication and characterisation of detectors for clinical applications.
Understanding of structural and photophysical properties of emerging semiconductors at the nanoscale.
Design and fabrication of photonic structures for its application in real-world devices.
Multifunctional porous materials.

Our work is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative, with strong connections with the Cavendish Laboratory, the Royce Institute at the Maxwell Centre, the School of Clinical Medicine and the UK synchrotron (Diamond Light Source), among others.
