We welcome Prof. Javed Iqbal Saggu who is a sabbatical Post Doctoral visitor with the group for at least a year.  He obtained a prestigious and competitive HEC Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Phase -III from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and is visiting from the Physics Department of Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) Islamabad Pakis…

Our Part III student Eva-Maria Tõnsson graduated from Cambridge University - we wish her all the best for her future!The verdict on her project in our group was a 'first', the highest grade category. Very well done!

Following the recent German social events theme, members of Judith's and Giuliana's groups joined for a 'Weißwurstfrühstück', a Bavarian-themed breakfast with white sausages and weissbeer. (We don't even have Bavarians in the group, but hey ...) Group members came by at different times, as their lab schedules allowed, so not everyone is in the pict…

On 1 June, Dr. Markus Hellenbrand gave an invited talk at the 239th Electrochemical Society Meeting, linking our work on new non-volatile memory to his previous research about oxide defects in MOSFETs.

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 Please find the US-UK Resistive Switching Team website here!

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 constra…

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)
