BSc (Hons), MSc, MPhil
Research student
Overview
I’m a PhD student in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing (CDT CSM) based at Cardiff University. My current research focusses on the development of epitaxial structures for Red-Green-Blue (RGB) micro-LED display technologies. This work is supervised by Professor Peter M Smowton (Cardiff University), Dr Richard Smith (The University of Sheffield), and sponsored by IQE plc.
My previous research (MPhil) focussed on the development of anti-reflective thin films for C-Band semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA); supervised by Professor Peter M Smowton and Dr Samuel Shutts (Cardiff University).

Biography
Whilst studying a BSc (Hons) Physics and Mathematics via the Open University, I spent 9 years working in secondary/A-level education where I held a multitude of roles during this period.
In 2018, I joined Cardiff University as a Research Technician for the Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub, where, alongside my role I completed an MPhil.
In 2023 I resigned from my technical position to become a full-time research student in the CDT CSM based at Cardiff University. I’ve recently completed an MSc Compound Semiconductor Physics, and successfully transferred to the PhD stage of the CDT programme.
