US-UK Resistive Switching Team Website Live

Thanks for Megan Hill, our Herchel Smith Fellow in the group, we now have a nice new website relating to our ECCS NSF-EPSRC collaboration on memory materials

We are pleased to announce a new contract with Samsung

We are pleased to announce a joint project with Samsung on semiconducting oxides. The project links together the work of Judith Driscoll, Giuliana di Martino, and Andrew Flewitt (CAPE)

Driscoll Group contribute to EPISTORE

EPISTORE is a new project under the EIC Pathfinder scheme with the aim of developing thin-film reversible solid oxide cells. The resulting pocket -sized device would be capable of delivering kilowatts of power, along with highly efficient storage of renewable energy. This new technology is therefore aimed towards applications where the size constraints/long-term storage requirements of batteries limit their practicality, such as off-shore renewable power generation and transportation.

Happy Christmas from the Driscoll Group

While we were sad to not have our usual group Christmas party, we were very happy to have a lovely sunny day to meet and share some goodies outside the department

Press release on our collaborative work on green materials

We are pleased that a highly interdisciplinary piece of work across several departments/ institutions has led to a press release. The work used simply processed photovoltaic materials to harvest indoor light to power a simple electronic device. The work is important to the IoT field.

Driscoll Group participate in This is Engineering Day #BeTheDifference

A group of women in STEM the Driscoll group contributed to the Royal Academy of Engineering’s “This is Engineering Day” to promote Diversity in Engineering with photos and tweets.

Welcome new group members!

We are happy to announce several new group members to our team. They are all warmly welcomed to the group. We continue to persist with our strong research efforts despite the pandemic.

Materials Science labs reopen! The Driscoll group perseveres despite Corvid!

We were pleased to get together in small groups outdoors in Judith’s garden to discuss work progress and lab matters.

Printed coatings enable more efficient solar cells

Researchers at Cambridge, Imperial and Singapore have developed a method to print ultrathin coatings on next-generation solar cells, allowing them to work in tandem with silicon solar cells to boost efficiencies.

Tuhin becomes an Assistant Professor

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Tuhin Maity has now taken up an Assistant Professor position at the IISER Thiruvananthapuram in India, after very successfully completing his EU H2020 MC fellowship (Grant no. MSCA-IF-2016-745886-MuStMAM) with additional kind sponsorship from the Isaac Newton Trust (Grant no. RG96474). We are thankful to the sponsors and are very happy to keep up our excellent collaboration with Tuhin in the future.
