Personal Statement
I am Associate Team Leader in the Photonic Materials and Devices group at the Institute of Photonics of the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland). My overarching aims are:
➢ To conduct excellent, collaborative research in Photonics and enable technologies for addressing grand challenges and delivering impact
➢ To develop the experts of the future through research
My research in Photonics at the interface of Nanotechnology and Life Sciences contributes:
➢ To further the scientific knowledge of photonic devices and materials including novel colloidal semiconductors and nanomaterials
➢ To develop functional device technologies and instrumentation for healthcare, science, optical communications and emerging applications
My current research themes include:
• Colloidal quantum dots and perovskites color converters for LEDs and lasers
• Colloidal semiconductor lasers
• DNA photonics for sensing
• Hybrid, mechanically-flexible sources for phototherapy
My interests also cover epitaxial inorganic semiconductor structures and devices, microchip semiconductor disk lasers and optical fibre-based devices.
