Theme 1: Energy Efficient Oxide Materials for ICT

We work on designing and nanoengineering oxide thin films for much improved energy efficient ICT. looking in particular at materials for non-volatile memory and in-memory computing.

Theme 2: Oxide Energy Devices

We are looking at a range of oxide materials, including superconductors for transmission and energy generation, ferroelectrics for ionics for energy storage, and oxides in solar cells for energy generation.

Introduction

Prof. Driscoll’s group work on energy-efficient oxide materials for Information and Communications Technologies and energy devices....

What is Materials Science?

In case you are not sure what Materials Science is all about (in fact many people do not!), please see Professor Driscoll’s article in APL Materials (the journal of which she is Editor-in-Chief) on her definition of the rapidly evolving field of materials science.
