Fully Funded EPSRC iCASE and NSG Pilkington PhD Scholarship: Advanced Optoelectronic
4 weeks ago
Funding providers: EPSRC iCASE and NSG Pilkington
Subject areas: Photodetectors, Semiconductors, Electronics, Optoelectronics
Project start date:
- 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-September)
Supervisors:
- Professor Paul Meredith
- Dr Greg Burwell
- Professor David Ritchie
- Professor Su Varma (NSG Pilkington)
Aligned programme of study: PhD in Physics or Materials Engineering
Mode of study: Full-time
Project description:
Advanced glass technology with added electronic functionality is increasingly prevalent in areas such as smart displays (think about the touch screen on a smart phone or tablet), IOT sensing and next generation healthcare devices. In addition, the use of glass substrates in advanced semiconductor devices is a huge new opportunity. This project focuses up these opportunities, and will entail early-stage concept investigations of the integration of transparent / semi-transparent optoelectronics and electronic circuitry on glass with advanced semiconductor functional elements. This PhD project will be undertaken in close collaboration with (and is sponsored by) a multinational glass and coatings company and will be undertaken within the new Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials (CISM) – Swansea University's flagship new £55M facility for advanced semiconductor research and development.
(Please see the website for the full project description)
