WelcomeThe group has a leading activity on the application of Raman spectroscopy to carbon films, nanotubes and graphene. Currently the group is exploring new 2-Dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, dichalcogenides, and their combination in superlattices and hetero-structures in order to develop new electronic devices and photovoltaics compatible with low cost and flexible substrates. In particular, the group has a strong research activity on ink-jet printable 2D-crystal inks, which can be used to enable fabrication of flexible and low-cost devices such as sensors, photodetectors, solar cells, etc. Many of the projects in this area are industry-funded.
Do you want to JOIN OUR GROUP for a PhD? If you are a talented and strongly motivated student, you can apply for a President’s Doctoral Scholarship Award. Please get in touch with us. In addition, the University of Manchester also offers the EPSRC CDT in Science and Applications of Graphene and Related Nanomaterials to outstanding students.
Do you want to JOIN OUR GROUP for a Post-Doc? Are you at the beginning of your research career, with the potential to be world-class? Then you can apply for several prestigious Fellowships. Please get in touch with us.
