Overview
My research focus is on the application of microwave engineering to the field of materials science. I am a member of Prof. Oliver Williams laboratory where I am particularly focused on the heteroepitaxial growth of polycrystalline diamond on various substrates using microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition (CVD).
My currently active research areas:
- Microwave plasma CVD diamond
- CVD diamond growth on gallium nitride (GaN) - GaN-DaME Project
- Superconducting boron doped diamond microwave resonators
- Microwave modelling (finite element method)
- Microwave plasma modelling in CVD reactors
- Microwave cavity/dielectric resonators for dielectric spectroscopy
- Microwave co-planar structure designs for superconducting diamond
- Thermal stresses induced during microwave CVD in diamond wafer stacks
- Microwave dielectric spectroscopy and material measurements
- Freestanding CVD diamond films
- Micro/nano carbon powders including nanodiamond
- Electrically conducting diamond films
