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.

After weeks of torrential rain, the Driscoll Group take advantage of the rising temperatures and go punting along The Backs on the Cam

It was great to have everyone get together in groups of <6 in Judith’s garden for a mini German beer festival

We are pleased to be hosting an international meeting on “Materials Challenges for Memory” (11-13 April 2021) with the top names in the field from around the world.More details can be found here

Several members of the group participated in the annual Cambidge science festival. Judith and Markus contributed to an event on Engineering Memories; Matt Tom and Adam worked on a talk about the science of ice cream, funded by Trinity College, Cambridge 

We are pleased to welcome new group members Dr. Nives Strkalj and Dr. Max Becker! Nives is a visiting reasearcher and a postdoctoral fellow of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Max joins us as a PDRA sponsered by Samsung

Congradualtions to Dr John Feighan and Dr Rob Jagt for passing their vivas! John will be staying with us to work on a Leverhulme project, Cu-1234, an exciting superconductor with huge untapped applications potential. Rob is also staying with us to work as a consultant on behalf of a local company

Guliana di Martino, Chiara Ciccarelli, and Judith Driscoll have made a video for the Cambridge Science festival (26 March- 4 April 2021). The video highlights our works on memory materials and is linked to several of our grants. Click here to find out more! Find our video hereFind out more about the Cambridge Science Festival here

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)

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

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.Press Release: New green materials could power smart devices using…

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. Thank you Giuliana, Megan, Muireann and  Eva-Maria.This is Engineering
