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

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.
Postdoctoral Research Position Available: Big-Data for Nano-Electronics
A 2-year postdoctoral position is available in the group to work on data acquisition and analytics pipeline on the big-data for nano-electronics project. The post has the potential to be extended to 4 years.
The successful candidate will apply statistical approaches to large-scale data produced by high-throughput spectroscopy and imaging
New Paper: Carrier dynamics and recombination mechanisms in InP twinning superlattice nanowires
A new paper has been published in Optics Express, led by collaborator Xiaoming Yuan at Central South University (Changsha) and growth colleagues in the group of Prof. Jagadish at Australian National University.
In this work, novel “twinning-superlattice” nanowires are grown. Once passivated, this growth method produces extremely high quality nanowires,
Seminar : LIV.DAT
Patrick gave a virtual seminar at Liverpool Big Data Science Centre for Doctoral Training (LIV.DAT) on “Big-data for nano-electronics“. Thanks to Prof. Carsten Welsch for the invitation!
