Biography
After an undergraduate degree at Cambridge and a PhD at Imperial College I worked as a post-doc at Imperial College on Molecular Beam Epitaxy of III-V semiconductors. I then joined Toshiba Research Europe Limited in Cambridge to work on semiconductor quantum technology, where I became Team Leader.
I joined Cardiff University in 2017. I work with the Institute for Compound Semiconductors, the Ser Cymru Advanced Materials group, the Condensed Matter and Photonics group (in the School of Physics and Astronomy) and Materials and Magnetics group (in the School of Engineering).
Supervisions
I am interested in taking on students with enthusiasm. An interest in quantum optics is also useful.
