EPSRC-Funded Studentship live on FindAPhD
The advert for a September 2021 start EPSRC-funded studentship is now live on findaphd. Please contact Patrick with informal questions.
Patrick Parkinson
New Scientific Advisor Role
Patrick has been appointed as a Scientific Advisor for the Berlin-based startup conductiv.ai. Conductiv will merge simulation and process data to reduce the iterations required for optimization of semiconductor manufacture.
EPSRC-funded PhD position now available
A fully funded EPSRC studentship (DTP) will be available in the group for a September 2021 start. This studentship is associated with the “Big-data for nano-electronics” project, and is open to UK-based applicants (EU applicants living in the UK may also be eligible for some support).
The project will develop
Viva in Oxford: Alice Smith
Patrick served as external examiner for the DPhil viva of Alice Smith (part of the Donal Bradley research group) at the University of Oxford, alongside Prof. Arzhang Ardavan as internal examiner.
New Capital Equipment Grant - Ultrafast Laser Facility
The group has been awarded funds to purchase a new ultrafast laser facility for the Photon Science Institute through an EPSRC Core Equipment Award (EP/V036343/1). This grant will be used to replace the aging Coherent RegA system with a turn-key highly tunable ultrafast laser system with optical parametric
2020.S7 - Group MPhys Students
The group welcomes a bumper set of new MPhys (Masters project) students on a range of projects. Welcome to all students!

Welcome to Dr Stephen Church
The group welcomes our new PDRA working on the Big-data for Nano-Electronics project. Dr Stephen Church joins the group from working in cubic-phase GaN for white-light and RGB LEDs.
Welcome to Stephen!
Congratulations to group PhD Stefan Skalsky
A huge congratulations to group PhD student Stefan Skalsky (co-supervised with Prof. Wendy Flavell) who passed his PhD viva with minor corrections. Even more impresively, he managed to deal with the challenges of a video-cal based viva.
His examiners were Prof. David Mowbray (Sheffield) and Prof. Mark Dickinson (Manchester).
Back to work - PSI labs reopen
The Photon Science Institute laser labs are now reopened after nearly 19 weeks of closure due to the novel coronavirus shutdown. All lasers are back on, and reseach will resume over the upcoming week or two.
Stefan Skalsky thesis submission
Congratulations to lab member Stefan Skalsky, who submitted his PhD thesis today. He work, entitled “Interferometric Time-correlated Single Photon Counting for Nano-optoelectronic Characterisation” covers his research on the i-TCSPC tool.
