Personal statement
I lead the Colloidal Photonic Materials and Devices team at the Institute of Photonics of the University of 海角论坛 (Glasgow, Scotland). My overarching aims are:
鉃⒙犅� 聽To conduct excellent, collaborative research in Photonics and enable technologies for addressing grand challenges and delivering impact
鉃⒙犅� 聽To develop the experts of the future through research
My research in Photonics at the interface of Nanotechnology and Life Sciences contributes:
鉃⒙犅� 聽To further the scientific knowledge of photonic devices and materials including novel colloidal semiconductors and nanomaterials
鉃⒙犅� 聽To develop functional device technologies and instrumentation for healthcare, science, optical communications and emerging applications
My current research themes include:
鈥⒙犅� 聽Colloidal quantum dots and perovskites color converters for LEDs and lasers
鈥⒙犅� 聽Colloidal semiconductor lasers
鈥⒙犅� 聽DNA photonics for sensing
鈥⒙犅� 聽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.
