Judith is very pleased to be notified that she is to be the IOM3 Kroll Prize recipient in 2018, following in the footsteps of former notable recipients from her dept. (Prof. Fray and Best and Dr. Kumar).

We are very happy to report that Dr. Bill Welland has made a further donation to support the research in the Driscoll group. Having such unattributed funds is most welcome and needed. Hence, we are very grateful to Bill for his generosity and for his interest in our work.

We are very happy to report that Dr. Bill Welland, a former student of the department has very kindly donated some funds to the Driscoll research group. We are extremely grateful to Bill for this. Having funds which are not tied to specific items, as they are under normal funding regimes, is much needed and most welcome!

We are pleased to announce funding from The Office of Naval Research Global for a 3 yr. funded program for a postdoc to work on Nanostructured Metamaterials for High-Tc Superconductivity.We will work with Dr. Mike Osofsky at the Office of Naval Research in Washington DC and Collaborators at Towson University (TU)  and Univ. of Maryland. The teams w…

Judith, her group and other members of the Materials Science dept. take part in the annual Cambridge Science Festival. We are very grateful to Trinity College for sponsoring the event.For the ‘13th’ year in a row we did our infamous liquid N2 ice cream talk (thanks to Mike for delivering the talk) and demo with some yummy ice cream dished up.Severa…

She talks about the prospects and challenges of ALD for complex Oxides, with co-author Dr. Napari. The talk is based on a paper they have written for the '2018 Oxide Technology Roadmap'For details, see https://www.tsstsystems.com/events/cost-to-be-spring-meeting-2018

We wish Dr. Federico Baittu well as he returns to IREC in Spain. Federico has been visiting us for 2 months and we look forward to future collaborations with him.

Dr. Mari Napari attended the COST Action HERALD Workshop in ICMAB Barcelona aimed for early career investigators (ECI) working in the field of ALD to create competitive proposals for joint, EU-funded research projects.

We welcome the visit by Dr. Wang from Applied Materials, CA, and from Dr. Moon and Dr. Lee from SuNAM, Korea, plus the associated visits to Tokomak Energy and to the dept. of electrical engineering at Univ. Bologna.

Prof. Driscoll attended the 10th meeting of IWAM. The meeting was in honour of Prof. Millie Dresselhaus who attended the meeting for many years.

Exciting energy storage projectA new part III project student, Dion Tjhe joined the group to research how to reduce dielectric loss in our very interesting BiFeO3-SrTiO3 high storage density, high temperature capacitor material:(https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nanoen.2018.01.003).
