Overview
I am a Research Associate in Optoelectronics at the School of Physics and Astronomy, Cardiff University. My research activities are split evenly between the EPSRC Future Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub (CS Hub) and the Strength in Places Fund CSconnected project (SiPf).
Under the CS Hub my work focusses on the fabrication and characterisation of III-V optoelectronic devices at scale, particularly VCSELs, LEDs, and EELs. Under SiPf, my focus in on large-scale GaAs-based wafer manufacturing and next-generation optical communications and sensing technologies.
