Course summary

To complete a postgraduate research programme, you’ll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But it’ll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors.The group is internationally recognised for research in the simulation, design and optimisation of both III-V and silicon-based semiconductor devices, in particular quantum cascade lasers, quantum well photodetectors, electro-optic modulators and quantum-dot devices, operating across the near-infrared, mid-infrared and THz spectral ranges. Our work on silicon photonics is focused on the design of silicon and germanium-based optoelectronic devices suitable for integration on silicon substrates. Progress in silicon-based optical transceivers is limited by the lack of an efficient light source. We are investigating the used of strained germanium and germanium/tin alloys, in order to engineer direct-bandgap materials suitable for lasers. Applications of germanium/tin alloys in microelectronics and thermoelectric power generation are also being investigated.
