Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride

 
UKNC Winter Conference

UKNC Winter Conference - The Cambridge centre for GaN will be presenting several talks and posters.

The UK Nitrides Consortium's winter Conference will be held in Oxford on the 5th and 6th January and the Cambridge GaN centre will be there in full force! We have several talks across both days and a number of posters. Here's a programme of what we and our collaborators will be presenting and when. For more information on the conference itself see the UKNC website.
