• Semiconductor materials and devices

    In first year, we will be studying together the basics of electronic devices. Starting from the behaviour of atoms and crystals, we will establish principles which support the design and operation of even the most complex modern electronics

  • Power electronics and amplifiers

    In the third year module we cover the principles of designing energy converters and amplifiers using transistors and thyristors. A variety of strategies and circuit designs, supported by tutorial problems, will prepare you to correctly use, specify and design advanced semiconductor devices.

  • Final Year Research Projects

    All third year students join exciting research projects in one of the research centres. In our team, projects range from the simulation and modelling of revolutionary electronic devices and circuits to fabrication of new application demonstrator with unconventional tools and techniques.

Undergraduate

We will be meeting for lectures and tutorials according to your timetable. Contact me directly on the module page.

MSc and FYP

The project website lists available projects, procedures and deadlines. Email me to discuss. It's essential to start the conversation early.

Summer projects

Placement schemes for Sixth Form students and Second Year undergraduates are frequently available. Get in touch to discuss.

Final Year and MSc projects

The project website lists the available projects. You can propose your own topic, but, for the best supervision, this needs to be within the range of research topics we are currently investigating. Available projects:

Temperature sensing for smart clothing and medical applications
Flexible electronic circuits for user interaction with physical objects (2 projects)
Circuit design for activity tracking in young children (2 projects)
Accurate design of next-generation thin-film transistors for flexible electronics
Individually proposed projects in similar areas

Contact me via email to discuss details and project goals.

What students say:

It’s a great team made up of people who are very passionate about the work they do. While being in the team, I felt generally supported by other members, with what was working on and I knew if I ran into issues or needed advice, I could rely on them.

— Will, 2020

I feel so lucky to have had the trust that I would complete the project even though in some cases technical problems pointed otherwise. Giving me constant support and space for working at my pace allowed for me to become motivated to work twice as hard to not disappoint. I am extremely grateful to have been part of this amazing team and I would be delighted to keep working together in the future, and hope we can keep in touch for the years to come.

— Carlos, 2020
