Welcome Chen Chen

Chen Chen has joined the group for a first year PhD project. He will be working on the relationship of structures and physical properties in nitride electronic devices. Welcome to the GaN Centre, Chen!

Welcome new Mphil students

Welcome to our two new Mphil in Micro- and Nanotechnology Enterprise students: Xin Chen and Kairan Huang. In the next couple of weeks they will be with us in the group working on multimicroscopy studies of GaN QDs and piezoelectronics of HEMT structures. 2021-05_mphil_students.jpg

virtual PICO conference 2021

Last week, the PICO 2021 virtual conference has honoured the scientific careers of Sir Colin Humphreys and three other pioneers of transmission electron microscopy in solid state research and the life sciences. All four researchers gave insights into their achievements during invited talks. More recent achievements by the...

Part III students finished projects

Our Part III students, working on various porous GaN, cathodoluminescence, and modeling projects in the group, have had handed in their theses and had their vivas. Today they presented their final work in a poster session. Well done!

Farewell to Dr Yonatan Calahora

The Cambridge Centre for GaN says goodbye to Dr Yonatan Calahora , who is heading off to new research adventures as assistant Professor (Senior Lecturer) at Technion (Haifa, Israel).
