Cubic GaN paper chosen as Editor’s Pick

Our recent paper on polarized surface photoluminescence from cubic InGaN/GaN MQWs has been chosen as an editor’s pick by APL. In this joined work between the David Binks group at the University of Manchester and us, we suggest that polarization effects from cubic InGaN/GaN MQWs might be related to recombination in quantum...

Kagiso wins the #IOPP poster prize

Congratulations to Mr Kagiso Loeto , a first year PhD student from the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride, the winner of the #IOPPposter prize in the subject Materials. ( Here you can see the full list of the winners in the 7 categories.) During the virtual poster conference hosted last month on twitter, he presented his...

GaN lab open for research

We are back on track – the department has reopened its doors for research after the Corona lock down, enabling us to do lab experiments again. We are all very enthusiastic and full of new and exciting ideas. The team of the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride

Congratulations to Rachel Oliver

roliver_wie_2020.png Professor Rachel Oliver has been named one of the Women in Engineering Society's Top 50 Women in Engineering 2020 . This year's awards focus on women working in sustainability, and Rachel is being recognised for her work on sustainable lighting based on nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs). In...

Farewell to Dr. Alexander Hinz

We are saying goodbye to Dr. Alexander Hinz, who is heading off to new adventures in reserch at Fraunhofer Institute in Dresden (Germany). Thank you for all the work in the group and taking charge of the MOVPE reactors. It was a privilege to work with you. We wish you best of luck for the next exciting step of your life.

Congratulations to Martin Frentrup

Many congratulations to Martin Frentrup, winner of the Armourers and Brasiers Company Postdoc prize and key member of the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride.

Welcome Zher Ooi

Zher Ooi has joined the group for her MPhil project. Zher will be modelling the thermal stress evolution in the growth of GaN on Si using finite element methods. Welcome to the (currently virtual) GaN Centre, Zher!

Congratulations to POROTECH

We would like to congratulate Poro Technologies for winning a £1.5 million seed round investment to develop a pilot plant in Cambridge and its first major products https://www.enterprise.cam.ac.uk/news/cambridge-spin-out-poro-technologies-announces-1-5m-seed-round/

Congratulations to Peter Griffin

We congratulate Peter Griffin for successfully defending his PhD thesis on porous GaN. Congratulations - hip, hip, hurray and good luck for your future.

We conduct world leading research into nitride based III-V semiconductors: material quality, characterisation and device development.

We are passionate about education and outreach! If you would like support for an education project then please get in touch.
