Edward has arrived

Edward Saunders has joined the Cambridge GaN team for his NanoDTC research project. In the next 2 months, he will investigate the degradation of porous GaN through ion and radiation damage for space applications. His first trip took him to the Dalton Cumbrian Facility (DCF) for a proton beam treatment of his samples.
