Welcome to the NanoEngineering Research group at the Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC).
Our work encompasses Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Nanotechnology, exploiting 0D, 1D and 2D nanomaterials for (opto)electronics, photonics, sensors and energy devices. We are also interested in computation-enabled smart devices, where algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in their performance and reliability. Exploiting the unique characteristics of various nanomaterials and synergies between them, supported by advanced learning algorithms is the theme of our ambitious multidisciplinary research, with a view towards real world applications.
We are looking for MPhil (1 year) and PhD candidates (3-4 years) with *excellent academic results* and research backgrounds in: i) low-dimensional materials and metasurfaces for light detection and imaging, ii) low dimensional material-based gas sensors, iii) 3D printing of complex composites for wearable sensors, iv) low-dimensional material-based printed memristors, digital and analogue circuits and systems. We are accepting applications for the 2025-2026 cohort until the end of November 2024. If you have an excellent academic record (top 1-2% in your cohort) and a background in engineering, physics, chemistry, or materials science, please get in touch with Tawfique directly. We aim to accept up to 5 applicants in this round.
International postdoctoral researchers, fellows and academics for long term (12 months or more) research visits are also welcome. We strongly encourage student and visitor applications from under-represented groups, regardless of disability, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
